A digital original receipt (with the price at the time) is provided. Condition: I bought the clarinet new from the, at the time, offical Backun dealer in Norway, in about 2015. The MoBa targets professionals, but with a good price like this. This was their top of the line clarinet when I bought it, though they have since come out with two new 'Custom' (professional) lines.

If you are looking for a professional Buffet or Selmer, you might want to do some research about Buffet first. Original price £349.00, willing to sell for around £100, make me an offer! Includes sling, 3 unused Vandoren reeds strength 1.5 and 1 strength 2 and Yamaha 4c mouthpiece.īackun MoBa Bb in Cocobolo and silver (new-price today: £6500) A realtively new company, Candian made Backun clarinets are less known than it's European counterparts, but has really flexed it's muscles, particularly in the professional market. This is my first post here.Student level Bb clarinet. My Aristo could do with a service and a few pads (someone has used a piece of chamois leather to makeshift a pad! And it works!!) but it`s not worth it cash wise, it`ll never be worth the price of the overhaul but it plays as is. Though deliberately pickling clarinet bodies in oil is a no no anyway isn`t it, doesn`t it weaken them and cause more issues than it prevents?.
As for parts, I can see why there are bodies floating about unsold, the wood of these B&H made seems very high quality, it`s very black despite the seemed lack of stain (which would have come off by now anyway), this one has probably been oiled so many times over the years that it`ll be pretty waterproof by now -). Yeah, the barrel of the besson (which is definately resin) is different to the stuff the Aristo and old B12s are made of, it`s not bakelite though, it scratches like resin and the surface hasn`t got that 1920s radio shell feel / look like the bell has, I never bothered searching out a plastic regent due to there being loads of good plastic horns about and was careful when I got the Besson to avoid Mazak keys (it has nothing stamped or cast under them and the S/N denotes 1960s, way after the Pot metal era).

Click pic to upsize and again for full size. They tend to go for around £50 to £80 at pawn shops, this was £15 as they couldn`t sell it - needs a couple of lower pads and I had to bend part of the action back straight (someone must have driven a truck over it), the end tenon which meets the Bell is missing its cork and has insulating tape instead (not important there) but it plays and I`ll have fun renovating it further. Aristocrats (even at proper prices) go for a fraction a B12 of the same age does, is tougher and IMO sounds better - it doesn`t have the famous slick action of the B12 but it doesn`t get in the way of fast playing. The case is is typical American plastic of the era, looks like it came from the same factory which made the shells for the Polymoog, Micromoog and Multimoog, even the styling is similar!. The stock Mouthpiece is a Brilhart Special made from plastic like the horn, it isn`t in the least bit special by Brilhart standards but better than the B12`s stock piece.

Very much in line with the Buffet B12, the body is better made than the buffet (heavier duty, B12s can crack from the bell pillar to the tenon) and I think it sounds more open than a similar aged B12 but the keywork although tough as boots and very playable isn`t as refined as the buffet`s legendary action. Well for anyone interested, the Aristo arrived - a 70s (selmer era) plastic one, probably the same as a Bundy 'Resonite'. I`ve Googled and not found a lot of info or opinion, ought to be interesting as a fixer-upper anyway. I`ve got one from the ubiquitous Pawn shop coming for the kind of money which would barely get you a half decent plastic descant recorder, judging by the pics of the case, it looks 70s and the horn is probably hard rubber or plastic rather than wood like the early ones.
I`m sure like the Saxes, the clarinets vary on where they`re made and how well depending on age / Selmer takeover / whether they`re the same as the bundy models etc but are the Clarinets any good?.
