I tried them at the NAMM show, and they play very well, just like the other Backun professional clarinets. A somewhat livelier sound than the MoBa, to my ears. Yes, hefty price tag (12k), but holding it, you can see the detail work that went into producing it and it's quite ridiculous. The manufacturing tolerances are super-tight and everything is finished supremely well. The inner core and tone holes are cocobolo, with the outer shell in carbon fiber. The bell is a blend of the two materials as well.

It's been really fun seeing all of their ongoing developments in clarinets, and while certainly some of their products are at the top end of the price range, I have a couple students who are absolutely delighted with their Alphas and Proteges. Myself, I'm also considering a Model Q Clarinet in A...it's light and easy to hold up, and also plays beautifully.
