Thank you for supporting small business while buying a fantastic clarinet from a professional clarinetist!

This is a mint condition 2024 Backun Alpha clarinet with upgraded silver plated keywork that won’t wear down like traditional nickel plating. This model also has an alternate key to play Ab/Eb with the left hand making some technical passages easier to play. Perfect for cold, dry, or outdoor conditions when you don't want to worry about cracking a wooden instrument! This instrument also comes with an unused Protege mouthpiece (the standard included mouthpiece with the Alpha), Rovner style ligature, and unused Legere synthetic reed (2.25 strength)

The Alpha clarinet is crafted from an ideal blend of synthetic material for maximum resonance and durability. Designed as the optimal indoor or outdoor clarinet, it is at home in the classroom, on the concert stage, or on the marching field.

With its stable, resonant, and lightweight synthetic body, water-resistant black Valentino pads, durable and ergonomic keywork, and adjustable thumb rest with neck strap ring, many hours of enjoyable practice and performance are ahead.

Drescher Music is an authorized Backun Musical Services dealer and is run by myself, a professional clarinetist and university clarinet professor, who ensures that all of my instruments are working at their top level before leaving the shop. The majority of all proceeds from my instrument sales go toward funding student scholarships, providing music students with better instruments and equipment, and commissioning new music. Please feel free to ask for any clarinet advice when purchasing instruments!
