If you are purchasing a beginner's instrument for the first time and would like further advice, our showroom staff will be pleased to give all the guidance you need.

The Leblanc Debut is an ideal introduction to the world of clarinets. Its lightweight, tough ABS body paired with precision-engineered key mechanism produces a very ergonomic and reliable instrument.

A feature that elevates it above many student instruments is the ‘low E reinforcement bar’ which protects a part of the key mechanism that is particularly vulnerable when assembled by inexperienced players.

• ABS thermoplastic body
• Silver-plated keywork
• Adjustable thumbrest with strap ring
• Low E reinforcement bar
• Mouthpiece and ligature
• Backpack-style case

Buying tips: Nowadays all starter clarinets use a standard arrangement of keys known as the Boehm system. The key mechanism is usually silver-plated and the body molded from ABS plastic. This reduces cost compared with a wooden clarinet, and makes it more resistant to moisture and mechanical damage. There are different sizes of clarinet, but the one in B-flat is the most widely used by beginners. Price is a good indicator of quality, and cheaper instruments are more difficult and costly to maintain. A fully serviced pre-owned instrument from a reputable manufacturer is always a good low-risk purchase for a beginner. Click here to see our current stock of pre-owned clarinets.
