Condition & Setup
This floor model Backun Q Series A clarinet is in excellent playing order. It has been professionally serviced, set up, and play-tested by The Mighty Quinn Brass and Winds. The cocobolo body, bell, and keywork are in excellent cosmetic condition, with natural wood grain and minimal handling wear. The 65 mm barrel has a very small finish nick near its upper edge, and the barrels show a few light superficial handling marks. A mouthpiece, ligature, and mouthpiece cap are not included.
Who the Q Series A Clarinet Is For
The Q Series A clarinet is suited to advanced and professional players assembling or upgrading an A and Bb clarinet pair for orchestral, chamber, opera, and pit work. Its professional positioning, precise voicing, and alternate left Eb fingering make it a practical choice for musicians seeking responsive performance and ergonomic flexibility without moving to Backun's higher-priced custom-level instruments.
Common Questions About the Backun Q Series
Where does the Q Series fit within Backun's clarinet lineup?
The Q Series belongs to Backun's professional clarinet range and is designed to provide professional construction and playing features at a lower price than the company's upper-level models.
What is the purpose of the left Eb key?
The left Eb key provides an alternate fingering for Eb, giving the player additional technical options in passages where the standard right-hand fingering is less convenient.
Why are two barrels included?
The included 64 mm and 65 mm barrels provide two tuning lengths, allowing the player to select the setup that best suits the mouthpiece, pitch environment, and response preference.
