Backun Protege'

I traded in my Yamaha 650 and purchased a Backun Protégé in Cocobolo w/nickel keys.
This clarinet is by far the free-ist blowing, easiest playing, (even in the higher registers) clarinet I have
ever owned ! Its gorgeous to look at, makes me sound far richer than I ever have before...only one complaint:
there is an adjustable thumb rest with attached ring for a neckpiece. This thumb rest is very wide and
it digs into my thumb. Being it is extra wide, there are no thumb rest covers to fit over this, so Ive just had to 'deal
with it'. Other than that, this is my dream clarinet and Im glad I found it ! No popping keys, - very quiet movement.
*My Yammy has always given me problems that seem to reoccur over & over with no permanent solution..i was very unhappy
so it was time to change. *Am using M13-Lyre Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece Profile 88, 3.5 Zonda reeds & Drs Stealth Power Barrel (sometimes
I switch to a B45 mouthpiece

This clarinet is a red color, very deep mahogany hue

But I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT and can recommend it to everyone looking for a
beautiful looking, great sounding, easy playing 'step up' clarinet !
