Polaris Bass Clarinet

Most professional bass clarinets ask you to pay professional prices for professional features. The Royal Global Polaris doesn't. It's built from aged grenadilla with a specification that matches or exceeds what top-tier instruments offer, at a price point that makes it accessible to serious players who don't want to compromise.

The poly-cylindrical bore design provides additional intonation support and greater tonal consistency across the full range of the instrument. The sound is warm, resonant, and colourful — full in the low register, even and responsive as you move up. The adjustable slide neck makes tuning fast and precise, which matters on an instrument where intonation adjustments are constant throughout a rehearsal or performance. 

The keywork is built to a professional standard throughout. Metal thumb rollers, silver-plated keys, blue steel springs, and leather pads with resonators — features that are usually reserved for instruments costing significantly more. The 2026 update brings a refined bore for superior response and agility across all registers, paired with a Thumb Low Eb configuration for greater flexibility in the low register. 

For orchestral players, pit work, and anyone who needs a bass clarinet that performs reliably at a high level every time they pick it up, the Polaris is the straightforward answer.

Includes two floor pegs (short and long), leather gig case with backpack straps, and Royal Global's 3-year warranty.
