Intermediate Clarinets

What are Intermediate Clarinets? – According to the Clarinet Industry:
The term “Intermediate Clarinets” usually will imply a clarinet that is designed to be a “step-up” from traditional student models. Sadly, many times manufacturers will simply take a student clarinet and simply make it out of wood instead so that it gives a richer tone than the plastic student model.

What are Intermediate Clarinets? – According to KesslerMusic:
We believe that the true Intermediate Clarinets should be a noticeable improvement than a student model. We believe that the entire clarinet should be a marked improvement, so much so that a player really should never NEED a better clarinet in order to perform on any level or stage. We search through all of the models that the industry offers to provide the best value and offers the player the best performance! In the occasion that we feel that the industry is no longer offering you the best value, we then go out and make it ourselves with our Kessler Custom line of products.

Intermediate Clarinets & Accessories

Intermediate Clarinets
Intermediate Clarinets that we carry are ones that we feel give actual upgraded performance. In the case of some models, we will also give upgrade recommendations that are tailored towards getting more performance out of the specific instrument. For instance, in the case of the Leblanc Bliss intermediate clarinets, we give the recommendation of the Backun MoBa barrel to supercharge it’s performance! 

If there is a model that you are looking for that is not listed here, give us a call!

Clarinet Barrels
Intermediate clarinets are a great platform to give value to the player. They also can be further enhanced with an upgraded barrels in many cases. The only models of clarinet that we do not recommend a new barrel for are the Buffet E12F (since they use an oversized tenon) and the Kessler Custom Artist Series (as it already has an upgraded barrel on it!

Great Value!

Clarinet Mouthpieces
The other area of GREAT importance on intermediate clarinets is the mouthpiece setup. Your sound starts at your mouthpiece! Too often players hinder their new intermediate clarinets performance by using a basic student mouthpiece! Upgrade to a better mouthpiece and be amazed!
