Who the BCLAQG-SKGE Q-Series A Clarinet Is For
The Backun BCLAQG-SKGE Q-Series A Clarinet is a French-style professional-oriented A clarinet designed for orchestral, chamber, and doubling players who need accurate A-clarinet intonation and a familiar, responsive feel. Its poly-cylindrical bore and precision undercut and overcut tone holes are built to support even scale response and secure pitch across registers, while the grenadilla body provides the traditional core and focus many classical players expect from an A clarinet.
This model stands out within the Q Series for combining modern durability details with classic materials and mechanics: a carbon fibre joint ring for added stability at the joints, triple-strike silver-plated keywork with gold posts, and inline trill keys that help reduce condensation accumulation in the trill-key area. The removable left-hand Eb key and adjustable thumb rest with neck strap ring make it easier to tailor the setup to individual hand position and performance demands.
Common Questions About the Backun BCLAQG-SKGE
What is the Backun Q-Series A clarinet, and what is it used for?
It is an A-pitched clarinet intended for classical repertoire where A clarinet is standard, including orchestra and chamber music, offering the transposition and tonal color expected from an A clarinet alongside Backun-designed acoustics and mechanics.
What does “poly-cylindrical bore” mean on this clarinet?
It refers to a bore profile that uses more than one cylindrical section rather than a single uniform cylinder, designed to balance response and intonation across the instrument’s range.
Does this model include a left-hand Eb key, and is it removable?
Yes. The BCLAQG-SKGE includes a left-hand Eb key, and the mechanism is removable for players who prefer the feel and spacing of a standard configuration.
