Affordable, Lightweight and Loveable

Imagine a professional instrument designed for advancing bass clarinet players and artists, alike. The Backun Alpha Low Eb Bass Clarinet utilizes the same acoustical design and durable key mechanism found on the Q Series Bass Clarinet as the foundation for this synthetic Low Eb version, which is available in two body configurations. Alpha Bass Clarinets feature a neck and bell that are crafted from brass and hand-finished, providing a vibrant tone and incredible projection. From a lightweight proprietary body to hardened and triple-strike plated key work available in durable nickel or bright silver plating, Alpha Low Eb Bass Clarinets are equally at home in the classroom, studio or outdoor concert venues.
