The world's first production 3D printed clarinet, made from 3D printed Blackwood! This particular instrument is the final fully 3D-printed clarinet that I'll be selling from my production batches for the foreseeable future, and I'm including it with a free bolt-on left-hand Eb lever (which is easily removable if you prefer to play without one). The entire body is 3D-printed with traditionally-machined metal key-work. This clarinet is designed to be an affordably-priced wood clarinet with professional-quality build and playability that can be used in any setting or environment without worry of cracking or warping. 3D Wood is NOT affected by moisture and temperature conditions, so the bore dimensions will remain the same over the life of the instrument. The tone holes will remain in pristine condition as well. This is the perfect option from playing in the symphony orchestra to playing gigs outdoors.
The bore is a slightly German-inspired polycylindrincal design that offers a warm, centered sound that responds very evenly across the registers. Pereira 3D clarinets come with 2 barrels in different lengths to accommodate your tuning preferences. Due to the slight German adaptation in the bore and the tone hole design, the barrel lengths are slightly shorter than on other brands (64mm & 63mm). There is also a special texturing technique that is applied to the bore for improved airflow and tone quality, which is designed to balance the 3D Wood material for its best performance. This texturing technique is also done on Pereira 3D barrels and bells. Much time was devoted to the design process to allow the tone to have a natural depth and resonance while achieving excellent intonation.
There has never been an instrument close to this price point that is extensively tuned, adjusted, and set up by hand!
Some of the features include:
- Polycylindrical bore design (R13 style with a slightly Germanic adaptation)
- Valentino synthetic pads
- 2 Pereira 3D Blackwood barrels (64mm and 63mm) standard
- Raised C/G tone hole
- Traditional nickel-plated metal keys
- Adjustable thumb rest
- Comes with a Protec case
While this instrument's material is not susceptible to weather conditions that can cause cracking or warping, it is highly recommended that the instrument not be subject to extreme hot temperatures (exceeding 250 degrees Fahrenheit). The material does have temperature resistance for normal playing conditions, including situations where you would perform concerts outdoors, but any potential damage from extreme conditions can void the warranty. This instrument does not come with a mouthpiece included.
