Morrie Backun is making the bodies for an intermediate clarinet in his Vancouver plant and they have wonderful keyword installed in the Antigua plant in China.  What a collaboration!  This is a magnificent instrument.  The clarinet is wonderful by itself, but I have put a MoBa cocobolo bell and barrel in the case, as well as a Grenadilla Backun 9 bell (which is not available anymore, a real heavyweight bell with a darkly warm sound), a Cocobolo Fatboy barrel and four different Backun Protege barrels.  Talk about pimping your ride!  (If that is not enough, I also have a Leblanc by Backun resin Bliss clarinet for outdoor work and have a MoBa bell and barrel, a wooden Bliss bell and barrel and four more Protege barrels in THAT case….I’m just a sucker for lots of tonal options….)
