Backun Lumière - Grenadilla - Gold Posts and Silver Keys - Basset A Clarinet

Product Information

The Lumière Basset Clarinet in A is a marvel of modern engineering, precision manufacturing and stunning craftsmanship. Extending the clarinet range down to low C, it is modular in build, allowing the artist to change lower joints, converting their Backun A Clarinet into a Backun Basset Clarinet and vice versa, depending on performance needs. The Lumière Basset Lower Joint can be purchased separately, for those who already own a Backun Custom A Clarinet.

These incredible instruments are generally available to ‘special order’ only due to the leadtime. Each instrument is made to order at the Backun Canada facility. Please contact us if you wish to liaise about the delivery time and options on these incredible instruments.
