Real grenadilla body with silver-plated keywork
Many beginner and intermediate-level clarinets are made from ABS resin, which is known for its durability and maintainability, while most professional clarinets are made from actual grenadilla wood. But for the ERA-521 Intermediate Bb Clarinet, P. Mauriat chose a real grenadilla wood body modeled after the P. Mauriat professional clarinet body design. As a result, you’ll get that classic, woody clarinet sound with the playing comfort of an intermediate-level design. Of course, this is made possible by P. Mauriat’s famously ergonomic keywork, plated with eye-catching silver and fitted with durable pads for long-lasting, reliable performance. And like all of their products, the ERA-521 is meticulously inspected and tested by one of the company’s quality-control artists to make sure you receive a top-notch instrument that’s ready to play when you are.
