Backun Alpha low C bass clarinet
If you are looking for a low C bass clarinet that feels light in the hands while focusing on intonation and playability, the Backun Alpha stands out. This model has a lightweight two-piece plastic body combined with a precision-machined brass neck and bell, which according to the product information contributes to a lively tone and strong projection.
The Backun Alpha is designed for use in the classroom, studio and on stage. That mix of low weight and thoughtful construction makes this low C bass clarinet a strong option for players who want a complete and practical instrument.
Keywork and playing comfort
The advanced mechanism of the Backun Alpha includes a triple register, articulated G# and an ergonomically balanced low C mechanism. This supports tuning and response, while the bright silver triple-strike plated keywork helps provide a smooth playing experience.
The sculpted undercut tone holes with innovative wings are also aimed at improved airflow and enhanced sound. The custom black Valentino pads are developed for long-term use, which suits intensive rehearsals and longer playing sessions.
Complete Backun setup
This Backun bass clarinet comes with more than just the instrument. Included are the Alpha neck and bell, a Backun low C bass clarinet peg, a lightweight ballistic nylon backpack, a polishing cloth, cork grease, a large double-sided swab with dual pull strings, and an extensive mouthpiece set with Backun Protégé mouthpiece, fabric ligature, cap and Légère bass clarinet reed.
If you want to try a bass clarinet in person before choosing, Magna Music offers personal advice from staff who are players themselves. That is especially useful with an instrument like the Backun Alpha low C, where mechanism, balance and included equipment matter in the decision.
