A Professional-grade Clarinet for French Bore Fans
For discerning players who prefer the feel of a “French” bore clarinet, clarinetists at Sweetwater recommend auditioning the Royal Global Polaris Clarinet. Crafted using an innovative bore design and manufactured to provide years of reliable performance, the Polaris is an outstanding clarinet for advanced students and seasoned professionals. It all starts with a unique poly-cylindrical bore design. Unlike a standard conical bore, the Polaris’s poly-cylindrical bore steps between two bore sizes, improving intonation as you move between notes. With a gorgeous, traditional body made from aged grenadilla and populated with silver-plated keywork with gold posts, the Polaris is a phenomenal professional-grade instrument with an incredibly ergonomic feel. Finally, the Polaris clarinet boasts a vibrant sound with a solid tonal center. Like all Royal Global clarinets, its versatile character shines in numerous musical contexts, from symphonies and chamber orchestras to jazz combos and pop ensembles.

Silver-plated keywork with an alternate Ab/Eb lever
Key makers at Royal Global equipped the Polaris with 17 sculpted keys that feel comfortable and move swiftly. Each key boasts grippy silver plating for added responsiveness and superior durability; airtight synthetic pads ensure a perfect seal every time you play, resulting in improved pitch accuracy. As part of the Polaris’s standard setup, Royal Global also included an Ab/Eb key so that players can avoid the hassle of having one added later on.
Professional-grade poly-cylindrical bore and adjustable barrel
The Polaris’s unique poly-cylindrical bore design provides additional intonation support and grants you greater tonal consistency across your range. Meanwhile, Royal Global’s patented adjustable barrel offers added flexibility and makes tuning quick and painless. Its patented design allows you to shorten or lengthen your barrel anywhere from 64–68mm. Together, these two unique features make up a clarinet that can be tailored to suit the needs of nearly any seasoned player.

Though Royal Global is a relative newcomer to the world of clarinet manufacturing, they offer a variety of value-packed instruments for intermediate to professional-level players. Whether it be a soprano or bass clarinet, Royal Global utilizes naturally aged wood, high-quality metal mechanisms for superior sound and longevity, and a unique poly-cylindrical bore design and a patented adjustable barrel for improved flexibility. Royal Global then applies rigorous quality-assurance measures to ensure that your clarinet arrives in — and remains in — peak, crack-free condition for years to come. These manufacturing techniques, combined with Sweetwater’s exclusive 40-point Band and Orchestra Inspection, make Royal Global clarinets a superb value for advanced students and professionals alike.
