ARIOSO ASB-101 AND 101T Bb CLARINETS
The Arioso B flat hard rubber clarinet features perhaps the most even blowing resistance, the best scale and most even tone color of any clarinet available at any price. Acoustically, the Arioso corrects many tuning faults common to the B flat clarinet that was previously regarded as largely unsolvable without additional key work and tone holes. The tone is both dark and resonant throughout the full range and extremely stable in dynamic changes. Players will appreciate the beautiful, ideal balance of overtones in the tone, how easy the tone is to center, and how effortlessly the center is maintained throughout the clarinet's full range. Perhaps the most remarkable and enjoyable thing about the Arioso clarinet is the experience of phrasing music. Since it requires minimal embouchure/air pressure adjustment to play the full range of the clarinet, the player is free to phrase instead of worrying whether or not the next note is going to speak.
