An Exceptional Clarinet Made for Advancing Players The Backun Beta clarinet is ideal for advancing players who are ready to upgrade to their first wood clarinet. Each one is crafted in Canada using choice, naturally aged grenadilla wood: the exact same wood used in making Backuns professional-level clarinets. The Beta offers up powerful projection with bold, resonant tone that’s simply divine. Youll find that the blowing resistance is quite comfortable, making the switch over from a student clarinet easier than ever. Combine that with immensely durable keys and water-resistant black leather pads, and you have a clarinet that will serve you well for many years. To round out the package, Sweetwater assures the Beta comes in a premium, backpack-style case and includes a newly designed Backun Protg mouthpiece for unparalleled performance and value.Grenadilla wood body and black leather pads Beta clarinets use the same naturally aged grenadilla wood as Backuns
