Description

The Essence is clarity, reimagined. Light in the hands but bold in sound, this entirely new series channels the golden age of clarinet playing through Backun’s relentless drive for innovation. With handcrafted key work in the style of the Custom Clarinets, an enhanced left-hand mechanism and a striking new design, Essence is the modern French-style clarinet – refined, responsive and incredibly resonant.
