○ Backun Protégé B♭ Clarinet Body This is the high-quality clarinet "Protégé" made by Backun, a Canadian musical instrument manufacturer. Backun is a world-renowned clarinet specialist, and in recent years, it has been widely used by everyone from professional musicians to students. ○ Features • Uses carefully selected Grenadilla wood, and the warm, deep tone of the wood is attractive. • Designed to have a thick, core sound that resonates well even at a distance. • Accurate intonation and ease of playing due to precise processing. ○ Comparison with Buffet Crampon R13 The standard clarinet model "R13" is characterized by its bright and light tone, but the Backun Protégé offers a warmer, thicker, and richer sound that makes the most of the wood's resonance. It demonstrates its presence in solo performances and ensembles, combining the softness and reach characteristic of a clarinet. ○ Recommended Points • This model is often chosen by beginners to intermediate players as "a single instrument that can be used for a long time." • It has a sound that rivals higher-end models while offering excellent cost performance. • A "hidden masterpiece" that even R13 users should try once. This is a capable clarinet that can be used for a wide range of musical activities, from wind bands and chamber music to solo performances. It is especially recommended for those looking for alternatives to the R13 and those who are particular about tone. Purchased new from Dolce Music around 2018, but it has been stored with little use after changing my major in music. (Used and stored by a female) The condition of the keys is extremely close to new, with no cracks, and it is in almost new condition. You can play it as if it were almost new by having it serviced once after purchase.
