Backun Q Series A Clarinet Overview

The Backun Q Series A clarinet is a Canadian-made professional instrument designed for players who want Backun's modern acoustical approach in an established orchestral configuration. The Q Series combines a grenadilla body, precision-cut tone holes, a Lumiere bell, and silver-plated keywork to support centered response and accurate voicing. As an A clarinet, it is particularly relevant to orchestral, chamber, and audition repertoire that calls for its lower pitch and characteristic tonal color.
