Backun Lumiere - Grenadilla with Silver Keys - Bb Clarinet

Product Information

The Lumière takes the clarinet to a level of breathtaking clarity and focus from the highest altissimo down through the low register. Less is more, as the Lumière flaunts European flair with uncompromising intonation and fluidity. This Grenadilla model offers a more direct sound with a clean projection, compared to the softer and warmer sounding Cocobolo model.

Completely redesigned from the bell up, and the first clarinet to feature the new Backun Scale, this custom clarinet is a perfect match for those who desire the highest quality playing experience in a more traditional French-style instrument. 

Arching inline trill keys serve both form and function, moving the complex sculpted tone holes out of the waterline, while newly designed touch pieces offer a luxurious, refined feel. Among the finishing touches, custom leather pads make their first appearance on a Backun Clarinet, providing artists with unmatched response and feel. 

The Backun spec on this Grenadilla model includes; 

• Silver plated keys - Removable left-hand Ab/Eb lever
• Automatic low F vent
• New Lumiere scale complex taper and tone hole designs
• 2 Lumiere Barrels - 1 Lumiere Bell
• Custom Silver Bb Register Tube
• Custom Silver Thumb Tube
• BAM Single Bb Case with Shoulder Straps
