QR Code Link to This Post
For Sale: Excellent, nearly new condition 2023 Backun Alpha B-flat clarinet with the upgraded silver plated keywork that won’t wear down like traditional nickel plating. This model also has an alternate key to play Ab/Eb with the left hand making some technical passages easier to play. Synthetic body makes it perfect for hot humid and wet, or cold, or dry conditions when you don't have to worry about any cracking, shrinking, or swelling like on wooden instruments. This instrument comes with a Protege mouthpiece (the standard included mouthpiece with the Alpha), with Rovner style ligature, and a Legere synthetic reed (2.25 strength). More reeds included. Sorry, no cork grease which you'll need, because this clarinet was put together so infrequently the corks are still extremely tight fitting
"The Alpha clarinet is crafted from an ideal blend of synthetic material for maximum resonance and durability. Designed as the optimal indoor or outdoor clarinet, it is at home in the classroom, on the concert stage, or on the marching field.
With its stable, resonant, and lightweight synthetic body, water-resistant black Valentino pads, durable and ergonomic keywork, and adjustable thumb rest with neck strap ring, many hours of enjoyable practice and performance are ahead." From Backun's sales pitch.
Excellent- like new used condition. I hardly played it. At 74 years old I barely have energy for my main instruments, my saxophones. No energy and no embouchure left for this great sounding clarinet. Bought new. Played little. Price dropped to $825 cash. No Tax. No shipping costs. Lists for $1465 on Amazon. Make me an offer. You never know.
