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.
