The RC clarinet
This clarinet was developed in 1975 by Robert Carree, whose initials are carried through the range of clarinets. The main characteristic of this instrument is its focused and pure tone, created through the carefully selected African Blackwood body. This gives the performer freedom of expression and flexibility while performing ideal for the professional musician.
Professional RC design
The remarkable feature of this clarinet is its exclusively designed bore. Not only does this give a great response, but it also gives homogeneity in all registers of the instrument. As a result, the RC has great stability that has won over so many professional musicians. The implemented egg-shaped inside bell shape gives a bigger sound projection.
