Includes Two Backun Vocalise Mouthpieces (Standard and Crystal‑Lookalike)

This Backun Protege Bb clarinet is in mint, like‑new condition and has been kept in a climate‑controlled environment. The instrument plays with excellent response, evenness, and intonation across all registers. All pads seal perfectly, and the clarinet requires no servicing.

The body is made from unstained Grenadilla wood, which allows the natural grain and coloration to show clearly. Backun uses high‑grade Grenadilla across its lineup, and the absence of stain provides a more transparent view of the wood’s quality – something many players prefer when evaluating a wooden instrument.

This listing includes two Backun Vocalise mouthpieces:

• The standard Vocalise model
• The crystal‑lookalike Vocalise model

These mouthpieces are designed specifically to pair with Backun clarinets, offering optimized resistance, clarity, and projection. They add significant value and give players immediate tonal flexibility.

The clarinet comes with the original case and all standard accessories.

This is an excellent choice for advancing students, college‑level players, or anyone seeking a professional‑quality wooden clarinet at a strong price point. The Protege is widely regarded as one of the best step‑up instruments available, and this example has been exceptionally well cared for.
