The P. Mauriat 17-key intermediate clarinet plays, feels, responds, and possesses all of the aesthetics and “open-blowing feel” of much higher-priced professional instruments. THe solid grenadilla body, ringless bell, 65mm barrel, and silver plated keys allow the advancing clarinetist, professional seeking a high quality secondary instrument, or multi-reed player to fit in any ensemble, section, or solo setting. With a remarkably in-tune scale, rapid response, and tonal consistency throughout all registers, this instrument will provide years of unlimited growth and performance for clarinetists of all skill levels. All clarients are “set up” prior to shipping, and come standard with a wide, adjustable thumb rest (with neck strap loop).
