Complex Bore Design
The bore design of the new Bliss clarinet is the result of nearly 18
months of acoustic work and play testing. It offers the growing
clarinetist a clarinet that is incredibly responsive and easier to blow
while still providing the well centered and even tone required by
Julian Bliss.
Hi-Tech Composite Body The
proprietary material used for the Bliss clarinet body represents the
pinnacle of modern composite technology and it was chosen for Bliss for
several reasons. Stable enough to withstand temperatures of -120?C
while its pistol handle grade durability makes our composite resistant
to every bump and fall associated with a typical day of hard playing.
Also, based on acoustic testing, the material used for the Bliss bodies
produced a sound that was more full and most closely resembled the
grenadilla wood found on artist level clarinets.
Genuine Backun Low Profile Barrel
The genuine wood, Backun barrel gives the Bliss clarinet the advantage
of amazing tonal focus, superior intonation and a rich sound that can
only be gained with natural wood.
Backun Designed Lustran Low Profile Bell
The Bliss features the only Backun designed composite bell. This bell
gives the low clarinet notes more resonance and stronger intonation.
Ringless Design
The ringless design of the Bliss not only offers a sleek look but also
lowers the overall weight of the clarinet making it easier to handle
for young players.
Chamfered Chimneys The
Leblanc Bliss is the only composite clarinet to offer finger chimneys
that are both under and overcut. The unique tone hole shape offered by
the overcut guides the finger into the tone hole making fingering
easier and more secure while both cuts provide more secure and
consistent tuning.
Adjustable Thumbrest The
expertly designed Bliss thumbrest offers variable thumb positions to
ensure optimal hand position, no matter the size of the hand.
Black Nickel Plated Keys
Not only does the black nickel of the Bliss clarinet look beautiful,
the added weight of the material actually will help darken the overall
clarinet sound.
High Chrome Nickel Silver Keys
Higher chrome content found in Bliss keys makes them more rigid so they
respond quicker and hold up well under the most grueling use.
Threaded Posts
The threaded posts found on a Bliss clarinet make for more durable
key-work. This means more time playing and less time repairing.
Low E Reinforcement Bar
The low E reinforcement bar, found only on the Bliss clarinet, helps to
stabilize the long, lower keys when assembling and disassembling the
clarinet.
Adjusters on Crow Foot, Left F/C and Over-arm FC
The Bliss is the only affordable clarinet that features key adjusters.
These make playing over the break easier and more secure by keeping the
long keys in adjustment and removing lost motion.
Hard Rubber Mouthpiece
A hard rubber mouthpiece like that found in the Bliss clarinet is the
choice of more professionals. It offers greater focus, better
intonation and a much more mature sound.
