The student pack is particularly popular when a clarinet is required
for the first time, it contains everything you need to get started
leaving nothing to be purchased seperately.
Carmichael Evolution Bb Clarinet. The Carmichael Evolution is a standard UK designed student clarinet equipped with all features you would expect, developed for the beginner it is popular with teachers as an easy blowing, easily maintained instrument. The body of the clarinet is produced from ebonite and all keys are nickel plated, the combination of these two materials mean the clarinet is hard wearing and ideal for the classroom.
The Clarinet comes with a tough but modern case which will stand up to the school run, while remaining compact enough not to become a burden, the shoulder strap and handles also allow for easy transport. Also with a large front pocket ideally suited for reeds and accessories.
The Clarinet is complete with a mouthpiece and ligature, both of a standard student design. As the player progresses a common upgrade is to switch the free mouthpiece and ligature for one suggested by the teacher.
The Saxtech sling is designed with the musician in mind, the weight reducing effect of the foam makes the clarinet feel lighter, making playing for longer easier. The strap is equipped with a spring loaded swivel hook, which while still easily operated by young hands, unlike open hooks ensures maximum security. The 360 degree swivel allows full freedom of movement.
An important part of playing any instrument is maintaining it, this care kit includes everything required. A hanky style pull through which can be quickly run through the clarinet body after play, cork grease to ensure the joints always fit togther smoothly, a reed holder to identify which reed is your current one (saves you running through new reeds so quickly), mouthpiece and key cleaning brushes, and a thumb protector which can be pulled over the back thumb rest for added comfort.
