Who the Q Series Bb Clarinet Is For
The Q Series is suited to advanced students, conservatory players, teachers, and working clarinetists seeking a responsive professional instrument for orchestral, concert band, chamber, solo, and teaching work.

Common Questions About the Backun Q Series
How does the Q Series fit within Backun's clarinet lineup?
The Q Series is a professional model that brings several of Backun's higher-level design features into a more accessible position within the company's lineup.
What do the 65 mm and 66 mm barrels offer?
The two barrel lengths allow the player to compare tuning, resistance, and response characteristics according to mouthpiece choice, ensemble pitch, and personal preference.
How does nickel-plated keywork differ from silver-plated keywork?
Nickel plating offers a durable, bright key surface with a distinct tactile feel. The choice between nickel and silver plating is primarily a matter of feel, maintenance preference, and appearance rather than an indication of playing level.
