Quality and Tone from Day One. 

Advance your passion

The Alpha Bb Clarinet is crafted from an ideal blend of synthetic material for maximum resonance and durability. Designed as the optimal indoor and outdoor student clarinet, it's at home in the classroom, on the concert stage, or the marching field.

With its stable, resonant, and lightweight synthetic body, water-resistant black Valentino pads, durable and ergonomic key work, and adjustable thumb rest with neck strap ring, many hours of enjoyable practice–and performance–are ahead.

Crafted from an ideal blend of synthetic materials

The unique synthetic body of the Alpha is lightweight, making it an ideal clarinet for any beginner. The body is also more resonant than typical plastics used to make other student clarinets, enabling students to produce a beautiful-sounding tone right away. Its weather-resistant build is incredibly durable, stable, and won’t change shape like wood instruments do. Because of its reliability, professionals and students alike have come to trust the Alpha for any situation where using a wood instrument isn’t practical, such as outdoor concerts or marching band competitions.

Highly durable, ergonomic keys with black Valentino pads

The Alpha features highly ergonomic keywork that’s comfortable for any young beginner to hold. In addition, the key and tone hole placement is optimized for ideal finger placement that encourages good playing habits while maintaining precise intonation. The keys are also decidedly sturdy and require minimal maintenance, saving you on repair costs. 

Backun Musical Services: reinventing the clarinet one piece at a time

Founder Morrie Backun started with a small woodwind repair shop outside of Vancouver, Canada. At one point, he was asked to overhaul a clarinet with a missing barrel. So he set out to make a brand-new one using exotic cocobolo wood, thus creating the very first Backun clarinet barrel. After that point, Backun gained international recognition for designing and creating a unique line of barrels, bells, and clarinets. Today, Backun Musical Services is recognized as a leader in the clarinet world, inspiring players of all ages and skill levels.
