Backun Lumiére Barrel (Bb/A Clarinet) - Cocobolo/Grenadilla

$268.00   $268.00
Sold By: earspasm

The Lumiére. This barrel is the newest of the bunch, and levels-up ANY Backun clarinet (or, for that matter, non-Backun clarinet). It's also gorgeous.

But if you're reading this, you're probably wondering, "is this barrel $50 better than the Fatboy?" Good question. The difference is in the wood, and the finishing process. This will lighten up a dark clarinet sound — not brighten, but will offer a bit less resistance and density. This is ideal for music like Francaix, Copland, Weber—even some parts of Beethoven and Mendelssohn.

Cocobolo vs. Grenadilla? That's up to you; they both feel about the same to me, so it's pretty much an aesthetic thing. Note: These barrels fit only Backun, Buffet, Royal, and Uebel clarinets—but not Selmer. Contact me if you'd like to try one for your Selmer.

Please have a look at my Trial Policy for details on barrel trials.

If you have any questions, feel free to drop me an email!
