The “Flagship” of the Bb clarinet range the SM-W, our wooden SM with the same free-blowing attributes but a more sonorous sound for those people who prefer a darker quality and more projection suited to Symphonic work.

Priced at a modest £1,475 this clarinet has a better build quality than many famous brand clarinets costing thousands more.

It has anchored posts in all the necessary areas to ensure a stable key mechanism that will not go out of regulation. This 18 key clarinet features an ergonomic low G#/clarion D# alternative key.

Quality Silver plating and adjusting screws on middle joint and the crow’s foot. These small but ideally placed adjusters are not found on many clarinets and only then on clarinets costing thousands. The sound is warm, dark, mellow and round like a fine wine. With the standard barrel and bell the clarinet makes a beautiful sound but sounds even better with the custom barrel and bell offered at a special price if bought with a clarinet.

If enhanced with a custom barrel and bell (as pictured left) the clarinet rivals the most famous brands at a fraction of the cost.
