Backun Alternate Fingerings Backun Alternate Fingerings Volume 1, Throat Tones Introduction The purpose of this booklet is to maintain our collective curiosity about the myriad ways to be expressive with the clarinet. There have been many books on fingerings printed in the past. Hopefully, there will be many more in the future. However, if you are able to find even one of these fingerings useful, the mission of this booklet will be accomplished. More than anything, we would like to encourage you to use your imagination to further expand on the information given. There are several pages in the back of this booklet with blank fingering diagrams for you to record your own alternate fingerings, or to share with your colleagues. It should also be noted that some fingerings may vary in effectiveness, depending on the brand of instrument and mouthpiece played, and ultimately, on the ability and sensitivity of you, the artist. How to Use This Booklet The highlighted tone holes are those that need to be covered. Please keep in mind that, at times, alternate fingerings will call for semi-closed tone holes. The highlighted keys are the ones that need to be actuated. It is very important to understand that while having alternate fingerings is useful, they are only as useful as one’s level of musicianship and sensitivity enables them to be. This is a guide to encourage critical musical thinking and, as such, it should remind us to think of the clarinet as a tool of expression. About Throat Tone Fingerings Because the throat notes use the shortest amount of the bore to resonate, it is advisable to use resonance fingerings that can elongate the tube to improve the tone, solidify the intonation and smooth the transition to the upper register. In this case, it is advisable to choose fingerings that can be used consistently. CG Carbon™ The future and beyond The world’s most technologically advanced clarinet, the CG Carbon features a body crafted from carbon fibre with an exotic wood core. Using a patent pending process, carbon fibre is fused to the precision machined core, resulting in a clarinet with the robust projection and unmatched intonation that Backun is known for. Years of material analysis and real-world testing have proven the fusion process can endure wide-ranging temperatures and humidity conditions without expansion or contraction of the clarinet body. Tonally, the playing characteristics stay true to that of a wooden clarinet with the new Backun Scale. This signature model, designed for Maestro Corrado Giuffredi, represents a giant leap into the future… and beyond. Available in B♭ and A, unstained grenadilla or cocobolo body with gold or silver keywork. Volume 1, Throat Tones - Introduction & CG Carbon Clarinet @backunmusical - 2 Fingerings for Open G 1.
