Description

The Fox Model 5800 represents the next chapter in the long tradition of craftsmanship that has defined Fox Products for decades. Designed and manufactured entirely at Fox’s facilities in South Whitley, Indiana, this professional‑level clarinet combines precision engineering, mechanical consistency, and a rich, responsive tonal character tailored to the needs of today’s discerning clarinetists.

Built from select unstained grenadilla wood, the Model 5800 delivers a warm, focused sound with an even scale across all registers. Its tone projects confidently in large halls while maintaining the subtle control necessary for chamber music, orchestral playing, and expressive solo work. Each instrument is expertly set up and rigorously play‑tested in‑house, ensuring it arrives ready to perform straight from the factory.

Thoughtful mechanical design sets the Model 5800 apart. Features such as crow’s foot adjusting screws, ergonomic pinky key design, and a factory‑beveled synthetic register key pad demonstrate Fox’s attention not only to sound, but also to ease of maintenance and long‑term reliability. These elements make precise adjustment quicker and more stable—benefits appreciated equally by players and repair technicians. The result is an instrument that feels intuitive in the hands while offering outstanding durability and consistency.
