Clarinets

First designed by German inventor Johann Christoph Denner at the turn of the 18th century, the clarinet is a single reed instrument with an exceptionally large pitch range. A standard in orchestras, clarinets can also be found commonly in marching and military bands. In fact, many influential artists have made a name for themselves based on their remarkable clarinet skills, including early pioneers such as Anton Stadler, and modern masters like Richard Stolzman and Sabine Meyer. Within this section, you'll find an impressive array of clarinets for all skill levels. Whether you're a budding orchestral student or a professional solo concert performer, popular companies ranging from Etude and Amati to Buffet Crampon and Selmer Paris each take pride in offering clarinets for anyone who is passionate about playing the instrument.

For a clarinet that's both durable and easy to play, the Prelude by Conn-Selmer CL711 Bb student clarinet is designed specifically for beginners. Consisting of a large .583" bore, nickel-plated keys and a hard rubber body to ensure a warm sound, the Prelude CL711 also comes with a case, mouthpiece, cap, ligature, and care products. No doubt, this package is an essential choice for today's aspiring clarinetist. Another top-seller is the Bundy BCL-300 clarinet. A perfect combination of quality and versatility, this clarinet is made of an ABS resin body, and features a tone and appearance that's reminiscent of a wood clarinet but without the risk of cracking.
