John Packer JP222 Bb Bass Clarinet

The JP222 bass clarinet proves to be an optimal choice for established clarinet players seeking an instrument for occasional use in concert bands or orchestras. Particularly advantageous is its resin construction, offering a more economical alternative to wooden bass clarinets. This recommendation is further affirmed by Leslie Craven, Principal Clarinettist at the Welsh National Opera, who not only highly recommends the JP222 but expresses a personal endorsement, stating, "I would certainly buy one – and I would be proud to play it." This endorsement underscores the instrument's quality and appeal for discerning musicians in professional settings.
