To ensure that you have the best possible experience with your new instrument we have used industry-standard components with the playLITE clarinet. Whats more the blue playLITE clarinet includes a case mouthpiece ligature reed and cork grease so you can start playing as soon as your new clarinet arrives! Built to last One of the first things youll notice about the playLITE clarinet is the bright blue body. Made from strong ABS resin the playLITE clarinet is definitely more robust than wooden clarinets which are notoriously delicate. The issue with wooden clarinets especially models made from Grenadilla wood is that you have to be careful what environment you play them in. Due to their organic nature sudden humidity or temperature changes can result in the wood cracking – which is an expensive fix! You wont have any of that with the playLITE clarinet. The ABS is unaffected by environmental factors making them nearly maintenance-free. The 17 key Boehm configuration is the most common key system and the majority of clarinet teachers will prefer a new student to learn on this set-up. To ensure that your clarinet is easy to play it comes complete with blue steel springs which keep the mechanism fast and responsive. Perfect for rapid progression these springs are ideal for getting you through your first grades. Whats more the playLITE clarinet even includes leather pads. What does this mean for you? Easier note production better intonation and an overall better playing experience. These pads are definitely going to make your life easier.
