United StatesBackun Protege Clarinet First Impressions
I have just received my Backun protege clarinet in the mail and began to play on it. It feels really smooth and has a much darker tone than my other wood clarinet. I have had a few issues in the altissimo register but I will give it a few weeks of playing on the instrument before I ask about it.

CanadaMy new cocobolo gold Protege is gorgeous
This is a beautiful clarinet and after the first ten minutes of playing I love its rich, full sound. The keys are lovely to play and although I am a beginning clarinetist (1 month) I am looking forward to learning on this marvelous instrument.

I have had a Buffet RC....and now I am finally happy about the change. More dynamics, more expression, easyier to play - I love it!
Excellent Instrument!
While I ended up focusing on bassoon, I've always missed my days as a would-be woodwind doubler. Not being familiar with the Backun name, I happened upon some Corrado Giuffredi videos on YouTube and was struck by the beautifully warm, even quality of his sound! I did some research on Backun clarinets and listened to others who play these lovely instruments and decided I needed to get back into playing. I've been on the look out for a Backun that would fit well with me and was lucky enough to come across the Backun Protege in Cocobolo I have now! I may be a bit rusty, but the luscious tone of the Cocobolo (paired with a Vocalise CG) and ease of playing definitely has me inspired and excited to be playing again.
