The Backun Musical Services MoBa A & B♭ clarinets represent one of the most refined professional clarinet designs available today. MoBa—short for Modern Backun—embodies a philosophy that merges traditional acoustic ideals with contemporary engineering and precision craftsmanship.

Crafted from select grenadilla wood and shaped by Backun’s meticulously developed bore design, the MoBa produces a sound that is centered, complex, and highly adaptable, making it equally at home in orchestral, chamber, and solo settings. The tonal core remains stable across all registers, offering exceptional clarity in the altissimo and a warm, resonant low register.

Both the A and B♭ clarinets are constructed from single pieces of cocobolo wood, carefully matched to ensure consistent response, resistance, and tonal color when moving between instruments—an essential requirement for professional orchestral performance.

Key highlights include:

• Even scale and secure intonation throughout the full range

• Highly responsive articulation, from delicate pianissimo to powerful projection

• Ergonomically balanced keywork for comfort and technical ease

• Refined resistance that supports nuanced control and long-phrase stability

The MoBa A & B♭ clarinets are favored by discerning professionals who demand precision without rigidity—instruments that respond instantly while preserving a rich, traditional clarinet voice.
