During my music performing career I had the opportunity to play clarinets from many of the world’s leading manufacturers. Most of them have an excellent sound, but Backun instruments top them all with not just an ideal timbre and intonation, even tone row and dynamic flexibility; with them, achieving all these things is much easier, and it needs lesser physical efforts. So, I made my choice: Backun are my instruments!
