Finally, an affordable lightweight Bass Clarinet with exceptional intonation and out-of-the-box playability! The Backun Alpha Bass Clarinet utilizes the same acoustical design and durable key mechanism found on the Q Series Bass Clarinet to provide artists with an instrument that brings the lowest bass clarinet notes to the masses. Alpha Bass Clarinets feature a neck and bell that are crafted from brass and hand-finished, providing a vibrant tone and incredible projection. From a lightweight proprietary body to hardened and triple-strike plated key work in bright silver plating, Alpha Bass Clarinets help bass players stand out in the classroom, studio or outdoor concert venues. Features range to low Eb.

  • Proprietary and lightweight two-piece precision machined body 
  • Sculpted under-cut tone holes with over-cut vented “wings” for optimized airflow 
  • Elegant key work with triple-strike plating in silver finish
  • Neck and bell crafted from brass, yielding a vibrant tone with great projection
