Who the BCLAQG-SK Q-Series A Clarinet Is For

The Backun BCLAQG-SK Q-Series A Clarinet is a French-style A clarinet designed for clarinetists who need an A instrument with professional intonation and response for orchestral, chamber, and studio work. Its poly-cylindrical bore and precision undercut and overcut tone holes are built to support consistent scale and centered response across registers.

This model distinguishes itself by combining traditional grenadilla construction with modern, stability-focused details such as a carbon fibre joint ring, plus durable drop-forged keywork with triple-strike silver plating. Inline trill keys are designed to help reduce condensation accumulation, which can be especially useful in long rehearsals and pit settings. The included Lumière bell and two Lumière barrels (64 mm and 65 mm) provide flexible setup options for tuning and response without requiring immediate aftermarket upgrades.
