Mechanics

The Backun Bass Clarinet Bell is crafted from a single piece of Cocobolo and is designed to enhance the timbre of the bass clarinet (What Morrie Backun calls The King of Instruments!). For many players, the existing metal bell has a bright sound that is further refined with this plus-size addition, while bolstering the instrument’s overtones and projection. Available for most bass clarinets, we modify your existing bass bell to support this larger-than-life Cocobolo creation.Limited quantities available.
