Product Overview
Constructed from carefully selected premium Grenadilla wood, the JCL1100SQ provides the rich, warm tone quality that serious clarinetists demand across all registers. The natural finish showcases the beautiful wood grain while allowing the instrument to resonate freely, producing the complex harmonic overtones and projection characteristics that distinguish wooden clarinets from alternative materials.
