A clarinets are
very hard to come by in an affordable price.
Since A clarinets are not used by anywhere near
the number of players, fewer manufacturers make
them and those that do have fewer instruments to
divide production costs in to. This means that A
clarinets are always more expensive than the
equivalent Bb clarinet. This also means that
most manufacturers offer fewer model options in
A clarinets, many of which are only made out of
wood thus driving the price even higher.
Affordable A
clarinets are something that the clarinet market
sorely needs. Sadly, many such clarinets are of
too low of a performance caliber to offer
players a serious instrument, and those that are
of good performance are usually overpriced
simply based on name.
This has led us
to develop our new Kessler Custom A Clarinet.
This A clarinet
plays extremely well with great resonance,
response and intonation. Made from Hard Rubber
so as to maintain a warm and "wood-like" tone
yet being easier maintenance than wood. We
include 2 barrels of a 64mm and 65mm length. We
have also bundled this instrument with a great
mouthpiece setup. Included is a Vandoren AT45
mouthpiece with a Luyben ligature.
The AT45
mouthpiece uses the same design as the popular
B45 but is made from a composite material. This
gives a very clean, big and full tone. The
Luyben ligature offers excellent reed vibration
and responsiveness.

What does our Professional Setup
do for you the customer? |
|
No clarinet comes
into our shop from the manufacturers in
perfect adjustment. In fact, the longer
that they have sat in a storage facility
or on a shops shelves, the more out of
adjustment they typically are. This is due
to the felt in the pads losing the
compression that forms the "pad seat"
causing leaks of air through the pads.
With wood clarinets, the wood can shrink
or swell depending on the climate which
can effect the fit of the joints as well
as cause keys to bind up.
Our Professional
Setup prior to shipping is done to ensure
that you receive a clarinet that plays
perfectly right out of the box. This way
you get the superior performance of the
clarinet without having to have it "setup"
by some other technician. As a
professional shop, one of the biggest
requirements falls on the repair abilities
of the shop. Ours is one of the best
around!
We have some of the
lowest prices in the country on
instruments, no other shop can give you
this price AND this setup.

All horns are checked over prior to shipping to
make sure that they are perfect!
