Some reviews from the customers who purchased the Protégé Bb Grenadilla Clarinet (from Backun website):
- Love the nice full sound throughout the clarinet’s range, and the ‘playability’ of the Protege.
- My son absolutely loves this instrument. I have never seen him so happy and proud for anything. All he wants to do now is practice, practice, practice. I need to admit that I love the sound too. I do not know much about music but this instrument sounds sweet, smooth, deep and absolutely fluent. It is like a magical spell. 🙂
- Just love the rich resonance and tone of this product. The look and feel and especially the ability to adjust the upper register. I’m ready to play!

One thing I forgot to mention, having the extra E flat key on the Bakun clarinet took some getting use to having as an extra key, but it is definitely a plus to have!!!! Makes playing so much more easier!

I came into Dr Toot shop wanting to purchase a pre loved clarinet. Instead I walked away with the Bakun Protege!! This is such a beautiful clairnet with great control when I play Jazz songs. My husband loves the sound, its dark, rich and sultry sound is perfect playing Jazz. I never have to worry about instruments I buy from Dr Too because they are honest, open and only have the best instruments in their shop. I love my new clarinet. Thanks Taka for taking time out in your busy schedule to play a couple of clarinets so I can hear the difference. I am so happy with my purchase!
