Illuminate the Stage with a Lumière Clarinet
Light up the stage and fortify your musicality with a Backun Lumière clarinet, a professional model inspired by French manufacturing traditions. Made from unstained exotic wood, the Lumière clarinet provides players with a robust yet focused sound every time they play, no matter the setting. The Lumière clarinet's intonation remains controlled and consistent in any setting, allowing you to focus less on tuning and more on style and phrasing — a feature woodwind enthusiasts at Sweetwater adore! On the exterior, triple-strike plated keywork covers overcut and undercut tone holes for unparalleled playability, and a ringless bell allows the bell to speak for itself with a gorgeous wood grain appearance and ultimate resonating power. Also included with the Lumière are two barrels, a removable left-hand Eb key, and an adjustable thumb rest with a neck strap ring. Need we say more?
Climate-resilient carbon fiber tenons and joints
The Lumière clarinet is proven to perform well even in extreme climate conditions, primarily due to its carbon fiber tenons and joints. Carbon fiber is less prone to contraction and expansion than real wood, which makes it a fantastic material for professional clarinets like the Lumière.
Adjustable and interchangeable components let you find an ideal setup
To suit a variety of discerning players, the Lumière comes equipped with two barrels, a Lumière bell, and sculpted overcut and undercut tone holes. Each of these details helps to deliver exceptional tone and playability. Accompanied by a complex taper with a Backun Scale bore design, these features facilitate smooth technique and delightfully balanced tone every time you play. You’ll also enjoy numerous adjustable components, including a removable left-hand Eb key, an adjustable thumb rest, and a neck strap ring, so you can find a setup that works best for you.
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.
