The JP322 wooden bass clarinet stands as the latest and greatest in the John Packer bass clarinet lineup, proudly taking the position of the flagship model. With its top-tier features, including a Grenadilla wooden body, an extended range down to low C, and robust ergonomic keywork, this bass clarinet not only holds its own but outshines instruments with heftier price tags.
Perfect for the advanced player eager to elevate their bass playing to new heights, whether commanding the spotlight as a soloist, contributing to an orchestra's depth, or enriching the harmonies of windbands. The JP322 is your ticket to an exceptional musical journey, blending precision, performance, and prestige for American musicians ready to make a statement.
- Building on from the highly acclaimed JP222 the JP322's wooden body offers a smooth and rich tone that would fit happily in any scenario. The keywork has been thoughtfully laid out to be comfortable and finished in a bright silver plate. It features two low D keys (Left hand and back thumb) and a left hand alternative Eb key to help negotiate those trickier passages. A two-piece neck allows for fine tuning with ease.
