I thought nothing could be finer than my set of MoBa&#8217;s, so when I heard from Jeremy Backun that there was a new narrower bore model, I did not rush to try it.  Morrie was installing sterling silver vent and thumb tubes in my MoBa&#8217;s and I tried the Lumiere prototype on his desk&#8230;I was dazzled.  It&#8217;s not just a new model, it&#8217;s a better clarinet&#8230; with 10 years of  making MoBa&#8217;s going into the knowledge needed to reinvent the clarinet yet again!  I&#8217;m primarily a bass clarinetist and the narrower bore Lumiere&#8217;s help me with my focus and keep my sound more compact.  I just play more fluidly, and the intonation is even better than the MoBa&#8217;s!  My MoBa&#8217;s went to a lucky performance master&#8217;s student in Utah.  The Bb MoBa was purpose-built for me and was the only one made with the 66+ barrel and the MoBa bell all made from the same piece of wood as the upper and lower joint&#8230;.hard to give up&#8230;.except that I have two new loves in my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Backun-Lumiere-LM257-Bb-LM258A-1024x734.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-723\" width=\"512\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Backun-Lumiere-LM257-Bb-LM258A-1024x734.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Backun-Lumiere-LM257-Bb-LM258A-300x215.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Backun-Lumiere-LM257-Bb-LM258A-768x551.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These babies were historic&#8230;the very first time I have not obtained the very first iteration of anything Morrie Backun has designed!
