Common Questions About the Backun Q Series
How does the Q Series fit within Backun's clarinet lineup?
The Q Series is positioned as an accessible professional clarinet, combining professional design features with a lower price point than Backun's upper-tier models. It is intended for advanced and professional players who value modern keywork, precise tuning, and a refined response.
When is an A clarinet typically used?
The A clarinet is an established orchestral and chamber instrument used for repertoire written specifically in A. Many orchestral clarinetists maintain both Bb and A clarinets so they can perform each part on the instrument for which it was written.
Why are two barrels included?
The included 64 mm and 65 mm barrels allow the player to adjust overall tuning and response according to temperature, ensemble pitch, mouthpiece choice, and personal preference.
