  • The ultimate step-up clarinet

    The Protégé is your foot in the door to college or the perfect teaching companion. Featuring unstained, naturally-aged grenadilla wood, the barrel, body and bell are all crafted in Canada from the exact same wood used for our professional and custom clarinets.

    The Protégé features a professional finish, undercut tone holes, a New Traditional Barrel and Backun Bell. Water resistant custom black leather pads, an adjustable thumb rest with neck strap ring, and a durable backpack case rounds out an impressive list of features at an even more impressive price.
