Backun Q Series Low C Bass Clarinet - Grenadilla / Silver

The Backun Q Series Bass Clarinet represents the culmination of lifetime innovation in bass clarinet design—purpose-built for professional players and advancing students who demand exceptional intonation, responsive mechanism, and tonal depth across all registers. From the triple register/B♭ mechanism ensuring unparalleled upper register performance to sculpted under-cut tone holes with over-cut vented "wings" optimizing airflow, every detail serves musical excellence. Wisconsin symphony principals, university studio faculty, and serious high school players preparing for conservatory auditions will recognize the Q Series as the instrument that matches their ambitions.

Triple Register Mechanism: Unrivalled tuning and seamless register shifts throughout the upper register—eliminating the notorious intonation compromises common in bass clarinets.

Ergonomic Design: Adjustable ergonomic thumb rest with curved lip, neck strap loop, and roller-enhanced Low E♭, C♯, and C thumb keys support extended playing without fatigue. Comfortable angled register key touch-piece facilitates smooth register transitions.

Locking Middle Section: Hassle-free adjustable joint-locking mechanism ensures proper action and consistent performance every time you assemble the instrument—critical for reliability in professional settings.

Premium Materials: Body available in unstained grenadilla or cocobolo. Nickel-silver neck and bell yield deep, resonant tone with projection that fills concert halls. Precision CNC-machined keywork hardened and triple-strike plated (silver or gold posts with silver keys) for incredible durability.

Advanced Adjustment: Advanced adjustment screws allow players to fine-tune optimal setup to personal preferences—professional customization without visiting a repair tech.

Custom compact Marcus Bonna case with bass stand straps provides tour-grade protection. Articulated G♯ mechanism and Low C mechanism with ergonomic balanced action ensure fluid technique across the instrument's range. Custom black leather pads deliver consistent response and longevity.
