Boxwood Légende clarinet
An exceptional clarinet made from the finest boxwood.
A precise timbre, a gentle vibration.
During prehistoric times, boxwood (Buxus Sempervirens) was used in the manufacture of tools and hunting weapons for its robustness and hardness. Later in the Middle Ages, it will be used for the manufacture of templates used to hammer gold or silver work. And it was a little over 300 years ago that it was the wood of choice for master luthiers for its mechanical and acoustic properties. It is its very slow growth (around 1 cm in diameter and 50 cm in height in 10 to 15 years) which gives it a density comparable to that of the pomegranate (Dalbergia Melanoxylon).
The choice of excellence
Stellen Sie sich vor: Das um einige Zentimeter verlängerte Unterstück einer B-Klarinette, in dem ein geschickt platziertes Resonanzloch das tiefe E-flat mit einem vollen, kernigen Klang zum Schwingen bringt, und überhaupt das gesamte Chalumeau-Register dank seiner begrenzten Erweiterung zugunsten eines längeren Zylinders. Ein kürzerer Schallbecher, der nicht mehr die Präzision der Grundtöne E/H und F/C bestimmt, sondern als Resonator für die gesamte Klarinette dient. Ein überraschend stabiles und leichtes hohes Register, vor allem dank des verlängerten Unterstücks. Ein dritter B-flat-Griff in der Mitte, der die gesamte Bohrung des Instruments zum Schwingen bringt und so einen vollen, klaren Klang erzeugt. Dieser neue Mechanismus ermöglicht es dem Musiker, neue Sequenzen zu kreieren, ohne das Register zu wechseln oder bestimmte Fingersätze zu wiederholen, die in den Stücken des Repertoires verwendet werden.
In order to make the clarinet as reliable and suitable as modern instruments, the boxwood LÉGENDE retains all the technical attributes of the grenadilla model: its Green-LinE inserts, its ergonomic rings, its gold-plated covering and of course its legendary bore. 2 bore controls will be offered free of charge beyond the warranty period in order to always provide the musician with the assurance of a rich and warm tone. For musicians wishing to transmit the authenticity of a material of history and benefiting from the reliability of modern clarinets, the LÉGENDE in boxwood will lend itself wonderfully to the performance of chamber music pieces and the chamber orchestra repertoire.
