I bought a Coco Protege with gold keys from Tom Puwalski. It is a wonderful instrument, and certainly a great-looking one. The price is extremely reasonable for an instrument of this quality. I would not hesitate recommending this instrument to anybody. Nice tone and very good intonation. It plays better (by far) than my previous clarinet, a Leblanc-Backun Symphonie with upgraded barrels.The altissimo is far easier and richer than my previous clarinet. Keep in mind, however, that a cocobolo clarinet takes about six weeks of playing to get into prime condition. Do the gradual break-in according to schedule before you consider switching anything out (such as a different barrel, etc.).
These instruments are made in Vancouver, in the same faciliry that makes all Backun instruments and accessories. Nothing made in China with Backun clarinets!
