EVO™ Clarinet Bell – Small-bore design helps properly center your sound, eliminating unpleasant "long-tube-spread." Its light weight makes it much easier to hold your instrument for long durations. Works great on Bb or A clarinet.
Standard VENT HOLE: EVO™ Bb/A bell's small but important vent hole allows our small bore design concept to properly tune, and properly resonate. The vent opens the sound, and allows the bore's acoustics to tune correctly with your instruments. We used to offer a bell without the vent, but ultimately determined that the vent is a better solution. It allows us to promote our unique small-bore concept (better resonance, power, projection, and the reductiont of tonal-spread) AND provide a bell which tunes better for many instruments on the market.
EVO™ Bb/A Clarinet Bell
CNC turned from our rod rubber, Behn EVO™ bells for Bb/A and Eb clarinets respond with more ring and energy. Their minimal-mass/maximal-sound design increases tonal center, response, and flexibility – all the while significantly reducing the heft of your clarinet.
The lighter weight of Behn EVO™ bells will improve your comfort.
Small bore:
This option is crafted with a traditional taper and traditional acoustics however the bore is reduced in overal size for power, core, and depth. The standard vent hole aids in freedom, intonation, and flexibility. Standard is a great option for players on older instruments as it helps make them play like new again. The slight and beneficial increase in resistance adds core, crisp solid response, and depth. Both bell options work great on many instruments, but for players using R13, Tradition, Festival, RC, Prestige R13, Yamaha, Backun, Ridenour, Uebel, and some Selmer clarinets, looking to tighten the waist of their sound, bring in some focus, and remove some spread, Standard is a great selection.Large Bore:
While this bell isn't actually large as compared to the industry, it is made with a special resonance ridge feature which then opens up into a larger cavity just beneath. This large/small bore balance produces amazing evenness over the break, fluidity, and a warm smooth sonority throughout all registers. It is very responsive, free, and flexible, but still keeps your sound in proper check - it isn't spread sounding like other bells on the market. It focuses your sound while allowing for your artistic inputs to manifest freely. Both bell options work great on many instruments, but for players who like a bit more freedom - LARGE is your choice. Note: It warks great on Tosca, and other flagship modern options by Buffet, Backun, Yamaha and others. This option serves the modern direction of most makers, but continues in our acoustic concept of focus, core, and resonance.Summation:
Both bores are small but one is larger than the other. For added flexibility, freedom and warmth, go with the LARGE bore, and for added core, power, and to bring an older instrument into new-like crisp handling resonance, go with the SMALL bore.
