This is reflected in the price.Ĭheck out the sound demos below to hear this actual instrument being played.Ĭontact us for more information. Ideally this instrument would benefit from an overhaul and re-pad but does play ok in its current condition. A new Vandoren B40 mouthpiece can be included at additional cost. Perfect for youth orchestra playing and amateur playing where an Eb clarinet is needed occasionally. This budget clarinet would ideally suit intermediate players. Tuning at 440 is good and the sound is warm and rich with good intonation. All the pads seal well and the instrument plays fairly well. The instrument has been well used for amateur performances. The bell and barrel appear to be made of ebonite and the body looks like wood but we are unable to confirm. Anyway, enough of me ranting on, I do hope the above can be of some use to your site.This Eb clarinet was a trade- in against a professional Buffet Eb. It only reinforced the opinion that I have of Australia being used as a dumping groung for 'seconds'. While there, I was going to purchase an Amati Eb Alto as well. BothĬlarinets play very well in tune throughout the entire range.Ĭonsidering that they are full boehms, they have kept very well inĪdjustment with just the occasional tweaking of the adjustment screws.įor Ebony clarinets, they do have a somewhat lighter tone.Īs noted above, the Bb was not in playing order at the shop.

I did keep up the monthly light oiling of the bores however, especially during the colder months. Period had a reputation for unstable wood including cracking but these two Amatis are of good quality.

The Bb has been my main Clarinet up till recently when I got a Lyrique 576BC. I purchased them from a Melbourne company called Lamberti. As mentioned previously, I've had these clarinets for some time, perhaps 18 years. Here are some photos of the Amatic Klaslice Clarinets that I have, a Bb Model # ACL 605Īnd an A model # ACL 675.
