Backun Alpha Clarinet

The Backun Alpha Clarinet is our first choice for students looking for a high-quality beginner clarinet.

Designed to give developing players an excellent start, the Alpha combines easy response, comfortable keywork and a warm, focused sound. It is designed to help students produce a good tone more easily while giving them an instrument they can continue to develop on as their playing progresses.

Unlike many traditional student clarinets, the Alpha benefits from Backun’s specialist focus on clarinet design. Backun is known internationally for its clarinets, barrels, bells and other clarinet components, and that expertise is evident in the Alpha.

Why We Recommend The Backun Alpha

Many families initially ask us for a Yamaha because it is a familiar name. Yamaha makes good student instruments, but we encourage parents to compare the available options rather than choosing on brand recognition alone.

From our experience with students play testing the clarinets we stock at Tempest Music, the Backun Alpha and Jupiter instruments are often their preferred choices.

We particularly like the Alpha because it offers a combination of good response, sound quality and comfortable playing characteristics that make it well suited to a developing clarinettist.
