Nexus clarinets in Bb and A



This new clarinet design blends together influences from three lines of devolopment - French, German bore and Benade NX - to produce an instrument with the best features of each.

The Nexus exhibits a combination of German-style tonal compactness and focus with French-style brilliance, with the ability both to project through a large orchestra and to blend with small ensembles.  Consistent observations by testers are its strong tonal character, its willingness to produce a variety of tone colours, and the evenness of sound throughout its range.

Keywork is standard Boehm system except with an automatic register/throat Bb mechanism and modified LEb/Bb sliver key.

It is played with a conventional Bb/A clarinet mouthpiece.
