instrument, it feels as though it has been designed around the
player and not designed to a price".

Hi-Tech Composite Body
The proprietary material used for the Bliss clarinet body is the cutting edge of modern synthetic
technology and was chosen for it's characteristic sound and extreme durability.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 -120C 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 Grenadilla Backun Bliss Barrel
Backun Bliss barrels are free blowing with immediate response, aiding in tone production and articulation.

Ringless Design
The 310's ringless design offers a sleek look, lowers the weight of the clarinet, and increases the clarinet's resonance for a full sound.

Over - and Undercut Toneholes
The Bliss tone hole design provides superior intonation and response well as easier placement of the fingers.

Innovative Thumbrest Design
This fully adjustable thumbrest features locking mechanism to prevent slipping. The set position of
the neck strap ring ensures perfect playing position while offering excellent support.

Black Nickel Plated Keys
While clarinetists will love the sleek look of the black nickel keys, their tarnish-resistant finish will help keep them looking great for years.

Inline Trill Keys
All trill keys are in-line, above the water line to prevent water in the keys.

Acoustic Felts
The pre-compressed felt bumpers replace ordinary cork for a better feel and longer wear.

Low E Reinforcement Bar
The reinforcement bar helps the long, lower keys stay in adjustment when assembling andn disassembling the clarinet.

Targeted Key Adjustment Screws
Found on the left F/C, right F/C and the oversized crow's foot, these adjusters keep the clarinet in excellent playing condition with the turn of a screw.
