Backun MoBa Bb/A Clarinet Bell (Cocobolo/Grenadilla)

Backun MoBa Bb/A Clarinet Bell (Cocobolo/Grenadilla)

Ok, now I get to tell my story about Morrie Backun. I first met Morrie back at the end of the last century. He was still early in his process of "Reinventing the Clarinet One Piece at a Time" and was just making barrels and bells. I had heard about Morrie from my friend Larry Guy, and was told to go visit him when he came to New York. So I got on the subway and met up with Morrie at his midtown hotel where he was holding court with some of the best clarinetists in New York. It looked like a drug deal—piles of barrels and money laying around everywhere.

Anyway, Morrie launched into his shtick about voicing grooves and turbulence and resistance and physics...and it all sounded a bit snake-oil-salesman-y to me. But then I tried this bell — THIS bell you see before you here (well, an earlier version of it) — and said, "Shut up and take my money."

Unfortunately, nothing is that easy with Morrie. He kept talking.

I tried his original barrels as well and got a pair of those, too. And, all of these accessories changed my life. Morrie and I went on to become friends, and he made his first wooden bass clarinet bell for me in the early 2000s. And he's still reinventing the clarinet one piece at a time.

Anyway, enough about me. Let's talk about you.

Simply put: try this bell and you will never go back to a stock bell. Fair warning, however: it's the gateway drug into the world of Backun. You may just find yourself with a new Backun clarinet in short order!

Cocobolo vs. Grenadilla? That's up to you; they both feel about the same to me, so it's pretty much an aesthetic thing. Note: These bells fit only Backun, Buffet, Royal, and Uebel clarinets—but not Selmer.

Please have a look at my Trial Policy for details on barrel trials.
