Finally, there is an affordable, lightweight low C bass clarinet with exceptional intonation and instant playability. The Backun Alpha Low C bass clarinet utilizes the same acoustic design and durable key mechanism as the Q Series bass clarinet to provide artists with an instrument that makes the lowest bass clarinet notes accessible to the masses. The neck and bell of Alpha bass clarinets are made of brass and hand-finished for vibrant tone and incredible projection. From the lightweight, proprietary body to the hardened and triple-painted keys, available in durable nickel or shiny silver, Alpha Low C bass clarinets help bassists stand out in the classroom, studio or outdoor concert setting.
