Backun Q Series A Clarinet Overview
The Backun Q Series A clarinet brings the company's professional design approach to a model intended for advanced and professional players. The Q Series is built around precision-cut tone holes, a carbon-fibre middle joint ring, and Backun barrel and bell components designed to support accurate voicing and a refined response. In the key of A, this instrument is suited to the orchestral and chamber repertoire in which an A clarinet is an essential part of a professional clarinet setup.

Condition & Setup
This floor model instrument is in excellent playing order and has been professionally serviced, set up, and play-tested. The model and serial markings were checked during intake.

Who the Q Series A Clarinet Is For
The Q Series A clarinet is intended for advanced students, conservatory players, and professionals who need an A clarinet for orchestral, chamber, and audition work. Its grenadilla construction and professional feature set place it above Backun's student and intermediate offerings while retaining a more accessible position than the company's custom clarinets. It is especially relevant to players building a matched professional Bb and A clarinet setup.
Common Questions About the Backun Q Series
Where does the Q Series sit in Backun's clarinet lineup?
The Q Series is a professional clarinet line designed to offer features associated with Backun's higher-level instruments at a lower position than its custom models.
Why are 64 mm and 65 mm barrels included?
The two barrel lengths give the player useful flexibility when balancing pitch, response, and setup preferences across different playing environments.
Why would an orchestral clarinetist need an A clarinet?
Many orchestral and chamber works contain parts written specifically for clarinet in A. Professional clarinetists commonly pair an A clarinet with a Bb clarinet to cover this repertoire.
