Common Questions About the Backun Q Series
How does the Q Series fit within Backun's clarinet lineup?
The Q Series is positioned as a professional clarinet that brings advanced Backun design features to a more accessible point in the company's lineup. It is intended for accomplished players who value refined response, accurate voicing, and professional construction.
What is the benefit of the two included barrel lengths?
The 65mm and 66mm barrels provide useful flexibility for managing pitch, resistance, and response. The shorter barrel generally raises pitch, while the longer barrel generally lowers it, allowing the player to adapt to ensemble demands and changing temperatures.
Why is grenadilla commonly used for professional clarinets?
Grenadilla is a traditional professional clarinet material valued for its density, stability, and centered tonal character. The final response and sound also depend on bore design, mouthpiece setup, reed choice, and the individual player.
