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. Custom Silver Bb/A Register Tubes and Thumb Tubes are standard and preinstalled on Custom Lumière Clarinets.
