Backun Essence Bb Clarinet

The Essence Clarinet contains the "Essence" of a Backun instrument. It is a modern French-style clarinet that feels light in the hands and still sounds bold. It has handcrafted keywork in the style of Backun's Custom Clarinets and an improved left-hand mechanism. Backun launched the Essence for its 25th anniversary after years of testing with Backun Artists.
