Jp Instruments Jp021 Student Bb Clarinet

John Packer s JP021 is a reliable budget clarinet designed for first-time players. With consistency of tone and ease of maintenance, the instrument is constructed from a durable ebonite body and nickel-plated keywork. It is in these ways, and many others, that the JP021 has long been a first choice for schools and music groups nationwide. Now a dominant force in classrooms across the country, JP Instruments have built up a sound knowledge base, and have a reputation for producing durable and student-friendly instruments. The JP021 is constructed from ebonite, a robust material made of resilient rubber. Although slightly heavier than wood, it remains unaffected by the changes in temperature or humidity which can cause cracks in wooden instruments. Furthermore, the keywork is nickel-plated, a material which is durable and easy to play. In both of these ways, the JP021 is the perfect starter instrument. John Packer have also provided an easy blow mouthpiece. By making it easier for students to play the clarinet from the first attempt, this encourages proper embouchure and technique, as well as producing an even tone early on in the learning process. Finally, this instrument comes with two tuning barrels. By slightly altering the pitch of the instrument, these help an inexperienced player to stay in tune. The JP021 comes as a complete outfit with John Packer mouthpiece, cap, ligature, two barrels and pull through. It is contained within a colourful moulded case with shoulder strap for ease of transportation to and from lessons.
