My first brand new clarinet

I've retired, and wanted to get back to playing the clarinet, which I loved in Junior High School. I had a used Leblanc Noblet then, which was fine for a kid. When I got out of school it was loaned to someone in the family and never returned. I bought a used Normandy about 25 years ago, until I loaned it to my niece for school band. I did get it back, but I had never loved it, and so didn't play it at all upon its return. Now is the time to return to the clarinet, and what better gift to myself than a new Beta?!! This one won't be loaned to anyone, ever. It's so beautiful, I can't wait to play her. I am filled with joy, just from the anticipation! I'm grateful to the online support provided these days, and especially to Michelle Anderson, Clarinet Mentor.

Love it, so smooth but the B key left has changed and is stuffy and will not sound immediately like it used to

This horn is fabulous. the middle notes of a, b flat and g are just in tune, no need to put down any other fingers to change the intonation. high notes are a breeze

Hi Debbi, thank you for taking the time to post a review. To address your concern about the B key, I would ask that you please take it to your local music repair technician. This is a simple fix that they can perform for a nominal fee. If purchased from an Authorized Backun Dealer, they should also be able to assist you.

Really nice entryway to professional clarinets

I'm a high school student, and this has been my first wooden clarinet purchase. I absolutely love playing on it, it's made it so much easier and more enjoyable for me to pick it up and practice. Thanks Backun!

This clarinet has great sound at a reasonable price.

It has a clear and free sound. It sounds great with good intonation. I chose it over a used R13.
