Hanson T5 Bb Clarinet – Grenadilla

The first in our line of professional clarinets. Ease of playing, great tuning and an even tone are the main features of the T5. Players will appreciate the expression afforded by the tapered tone holes.

Selected tone woods, aged naturally for at least six years are chosen for the T5. For a limited time a number of twelve years seasoned blackwood sets available.

Choose classic grenadilla (African blackwood)with alarge ‘English’ bore for the most broader, rounded tone quality, or for a more focused toneandprecise intonation select amedium ‘French’ bore instrument. The beautiful rosewood instrumentsafford a softer sound well suited to chamber music, though many players are also choosing our rosewood instruments for use in the symphony orchestra and concert bands where they are equally at home.
