Imagine a professional instrument designed for advancing bass clarinet players and artists, alike.

From a lightweight proprietary body to hardened and triple-strike plated key work available in durable nickel or bright silver plating, Alpha Bass Clarinets are equally at home in the classroom, studio or outdoor concert venues.
