Re: Tone of Backun basses vs Buffet

I purchased a Backun Alpha.
The Backun bass clarinet is good because it gracefully adopts the best parts of Selmer and Buffet.
The side key system is Selmer's bass clarinet, and the register system is Buffet's Tosca itself. The Backun element is added to it, and it is very easy to handle.
The bass keys are also mostly Buffet's, making them easy to handle.
I cannot meditate on the fact that it is resin, but I think it is one of the very best entry-level machines for the price.
I have played it in an orchestra and it was very well received by the players around me. The only people who would notice that it is resin are the players who are familiar with the tone of the bass clarinet.
As for the tone, it is similar to a Selmer bass clarinet. It is not a moist buffet tone, but rather light.
I am thinking of changing the pads; the Alpha has Valentino pads, but the Valentino pads lighten the sound too much.
