Presence Clarinet
Testimonials
I've been playing on my Présence for almost 8 years and have fallen in love with the beautiful sound, even response, and incredibly reliable intonation. With the update, I feel like the sound of the instrument has taken on a new dimension with added projection and an even clearer response. There's something effortless about playing on it now and I feel even more connected with the music.
Jeff Anderle
I love its beautiful timbre and colorful sound, its evenness between notes and registers and the solid intonation tendencies. I love the solidity this clarinets provide in the upper clarion and altissimo ranges.
Kimberly Cole Luevano
The sound is very focused and centered without loosing its smoothness and sweatness. It is very easy blowing with a unique timbre that is flexible enough to give the performer the liberty to create their own sound. Moving to the keywork, it is very detailed and accurate that eliminates almost all of the technical problem that you could find in an instrument and lastly the intonation is very well balanced and maintained throughout the registers. In general it is a very well balanced clarinet that works together with the performer in order to achieve maximum musical mastery.
George Georgiou
The Presence clarinet has a magnificent homogeneous register, excellent intonation and a beautiful response throughout the entire clarinet. And with a rather free emission, another quality of the instrument.
