Backun Lumiere Clarinets | with Peter Cigleris

We're joined by top UK Pro Clarinet player Peter Cigleris to discuss and demonstrate the Backun Lumiere Bb Clarinet in Cocobolo wood with gold keys. This clarinet is available via: @lumiere-cocobolo-with-gold-keys-bb-clarinet-clarinet/20840
The Lumière takes the clarinet to a level of breathtaking clarity and focus from the highest altissimo down through the low register. Less is more, as the Lumière flaunts European flair with uncompromising intonation and fluidity.
Completely redesigned from the bell up, and the first clarinet to feature the new Backun Scale, this custom clarinet is a perfect match for those who desire the highest quality playing experience in a more traditional French-style instrument.
Arching inline trill keys serve both form and function, moving the complex sculpted tone holes out of the waterline, while newly designed touch pieces offer a luxurious, refined feel. Among the finishing touches, custom leather pads make their first appearance on a Backun Clarinet, providing artists with unmatched response and feel.

When listening to the trailer of the Met Opera's performance of Verdi's Requiem for the anniversary of 911, the moment the first clarinetist played, my ears pricked up. I contacted them on FB as to what she plays and they kindly replied to say it was a Backun Lumiere, in grenadilla with cocobolo barrel and bell. I had never heard of Backun. This is now my dream instrument.

Awesome sounding horn. No wonder they are so expensive..but i should say worth for the sound
