Frequently Asked Questions

The RC tends to be slightly darker and warmer than the B13, with a bit more body in the lower register, though both offer excellent projection.
The silver-plating is robust but will naturally tarnish over time with use; regular polishing with a suitable clarinet cloth is recommended to maintain its appearance.
The redesigned bell aims to improve tonal focus and projection, particularly in the lower registers, creating a more even and controlled sound across the instrument’s range.
