 Re: New Morrie Backun Leblanc Clarinet

I was lucky enough to be at the conference and got to play the new Backun clarinet. There are actually three clarinets that he worked on...at three levels. I forget the names that they used, but the top clarinet's "MSRP" was $7500. That's a lot of money, but to feel that clarinet made it awfully tempting. The keywork and the mechanics of it were just perfect. Going back to my buffet after playing that for a few minutes was like going back to a bundy.
One of the really fun parts of the conference for me was having Morrie come over and talk to my wife and I for at least 5 minutes...explaining all that he had done while coming up with the horn. He also had the clarinet guy from WWBW give us a walk-out price, which was still a lot of money, but a lot less than $7500.
I'd want to play the horns again in a quieter environment if I was serious about buying a new horn, just to make sure it got the sound I was looking for. For me, spending that much money probably doesn't make sense, but for a person that really wants a lifetime clarinet, it might just be the way to go.
