Introduction

The Jupiter CCL1065Q CXL Step-Up Bb Clarinet represents the perfect bridge between student and professional instruments, featuring premium Grenadilla wood construction that delivers the rich, warm sound that intermediate players need to develop their musical voice. This carefully crafted wooden clarinet combines advanced features including hand-finished undercut tone holes, silver-plated keys, and ergonomic design elements that support technical growth and comfortable playing. Ideal for intermediate students ready to experience the benefits of wooden clarinet sound quality while developing the skills needed for advanced repertoire and ensemble participation.

Product Overview

Constructed entirely from select Grenadilla wood throughout the body, bell, and barrel, the CCL1065Q delivers the distinctive warm, woody tone quality that defines professional wooden clarinet sound. The carefully selected wood provides excellent resonance and the complex harmonic characteristics that allow intermediate players to develop their personal sound and expressive capabilities beyond what plastic instruments can offer.

The .577" bore design ensures excellent intonation and smooth register transitions, while hand-finished undercut tone holes provide superior tonal balance and response characteristics typically found in much more expensive professional instruments. This meticulous attention to acoustic design results in an instrument that speaks easily across all registers and maintains consistent tonal quality from the lowest chalumeau notes to the highest clarion register.

Jupiter's commitment to player comfort is evident in the CCL1065Q's ergonomic features, including the comfortable C/G key riser, adjustable thumb rest, and ergonomically designed register key that promote natural hand positioning and reduce fatigue during extended practice sessions. The adjustable F/C key mechanism and custom-tapered bell with ring add professional-level features that support advanced technique development.
