"As many clarinetist agree, the Eb Clarinet tends to fit some and not others. While traveling in Europe in late 2023, I met the sensational Spanish Clarinetist, Javier Llopis (pronounced “Yo-Peace”) at his Clarinet Festival on the island of Tenerife, Spain. The ease and beauty that he brings to the Eb Clarinet inspired me to work on one of my bucket list projects: a Signature Mouthpiece that evens-out the instrument in such a way that the altissimo and articulation could be easy, mimicking that of the soprano Bb and A clarinets. Like Javier, this Eb mouthpiece is universally suited to orchestral, chamber, wind ensemble and solo Eb playing".
- Morrie Backun.
Specs:
Open tip at 1.20mm with an Open/Long facing paired with the A-Frame Bore and crafted from Spanish marble hard-rod rubber
A=440-442 with a standard-length Eb Barrel
Engraved with JL on the table for Javier Llopis
Includes:
One Llopis Signature Eb Clarinet Mouthpiece with three medium-sized self-lubricating O-Rings, one small flathead screwdriver and one mouthpiece patch.
"As a requinto soloist, I can say that this mouthpiece is a dream come true. For me, it has all the necessary ingredients to enjoy the Eb Clarinet in total comfort. This mouthpiece is one more step in the evolution of this small instrument, taking its performance and versatility to new heights."
- Javier Llopis, International Soloist and Renowned Eb Clarinet Player.
Reinventing the clarinet
Backun, a brand born in 2007, the year in which they launched their first clarinet, and with a focus on the musicians who will play their instruments, as its creator and president himself has been a clarinetist.
Morrie Backun, who designs the brand, is a professional clarinetist who has played bass clarinet in the Vancouver Radio Orchestra, Canada. He started out designing the latest Leblanc models, and then began making kites and bells for Leblanc.
Out of that passion came Morrie's idea to develop first accessories and then clarinets to help musicians perfect their craft.
One of the main differences that Backun has, according to many musicians, is the sound concept. Whether in the cheaper or more expensive models, the sound is warm, round, not nasal, not squeaky. The sonorous conception has to do with the interior designs of the tubes of their clarinets.
The tuning, which is super important, is very well achieved. Where the tone holes are placed and how he has the overcut and undercut is one of Morrie's specialties.
Those developments were designed to achieve the 2 things that a clarinetist is looking for, and that the brand seeks to differentiate itself, that it sounds beautiful and that it sounds in tune.
From professional and studio clarinets to the most sophisticated accessories, Backun has a wide range of products adapted to the needs of each artist. There are four ranges of clarinets available: Studio, Intermediate, Professional and Custom.
All of them are handcrafted in cocobolo or granadilla wood with silver and/or gold keys and mechanisms, making them a unique piece. In addition, the wide variety of designs in barrels and bells offer the musician the possibility of customizing his clarinet to his taste.
To sum up, we can say that sonority, tuning and ergonomics make Backun the big difference.
