Bb SOPRANO CLARINET

In celebration of our 20th anniversary, Antigua is proud to announce the

launch of the Antigua-Backun wooden clarinet. The creation of this instrument

has been a joint project between Antigua Winds and renowned woodwind

designer, Morrie Backun. As Morrie states, “This is a state of the art clarinet

showing what happens when you bring together two of the most sophisticated

manufacturing facilities in the world and a mutual desire to make the best

product possible.”

This clarinet starts with premium grade grenadilla wood, properly aged in

controlled settings. It is within the Backun facility in Vancouver, Canada

that the wood is turned, bored and machined to exacting tolerances using

the most advanced machinery and skilled personnel. These bodies, bells and

barrels then undergo careful hand-finishing work and inspection by Backun

technicians.

The finished wooden bodies then travel to Antigua’s state of the art facility

where precision manufacturing technology is used to produce the keys. Skilled

artisans hand fit posts, rings, rods, springs, and keys to ensure that each

instrument performs optimally. Black Valentino pads are used to create a

perfect seal, creating a clarinet that stands up to today’s demands and will

meet tomorrow’s expectations.
