BC310 ELITE SERIES RS BERKELEY Bb BASS CLARINET

Features & Playing Characteristics

The RS Berkeley BC310 Bass Clarinet produces a rich, well centered tone that handles well in all playing conditions. The clarinet features a one piece Ebonite body, which offers the stability and durability of plastic, but the more dense rubber offers a dark sound and projection found in many professional models. The bell and the neck of the instrument are silver plated. The clarinet ranges to low EB and has the 18 key Boehm system with 7 covered finger holes. The keys are nickel silver with straight tone holes which gives off a consistant uniform response throughout the range of the clarinet. The bass clarinet features stainless steel springs and high quality leather pads (with tone resonators on large size pads).The clarinet has an adjustable floor peg witch is able to adjust to the proper playing position for players of different heights. Additional features include metal resonators, rounded bridge key connector, and an adjustable thumb rest.
