Jupiter JCL750SQ Bb Clarinet

The Jupiter JCL750SQ Bb Clarinet is a beautifully crafted instrument that bridges the gap between student-level models and more serious, wood-bodied performance clarinets. Constructed with precision, it is ideal for advancing students or adults seeking to make the leap into a professional-feeling clarinet without breaking the bank.

At the core of this clarinet is a body made from genuine grenadilla wood, which produces a warm, full-bodied, and rich tonal character. The bore is carefully designed (approximately 14.65 mm) to deliver consistent intonation, open response, and a balanced timbre across all registers.

Its 17-key, 6-ring Boehm system ensures versatile playability, and the mechanism is made from nickel silver with a silver-plated finish — offering a smooth, comfortable touch and an elegant aesthetic. Blue-steel springs deliver responsive action, while metal tenons reinforce the joints to improve durability and make assembly more reliable.

Ergonomics are a major strength: the clarinet features an adjustable thumb rest (with a ring for a strap), an uplifted G/C (C/G) key, and an ergonomic register (twelfth) key designed to rest more naturally under the thumb and provide secure sealing.The tone holes are conical and undercut, improving tone focus and enhancing intonation across the instrument.

The JCL750SQ also includes a low F/C key for extended lower range flexibility. It comes fitted with a 65 mm grenadilla barrel, standard double-bladder pads, and includes a mouthpiece with ligature and cap. For protection and portability, the clarinet ships in a two-tone Jupiter side-carry (backpack) case, complete with storage compartment and reflective details.

Why It Stands Out

• Professional-quality tone at a mid-level price: With its wood construction and well-defined bore, the JCL750SQ offers a mature clarinet sound without the premium cost of fully professional models.
• Ergonomically designed: Thoughtful keywork (raised C/G key, ergonomic register key, adjustable thumb rest) makes it comfortable for long practice sessions and helps players maintain proper technique.
• Durable and reliable build: Metal tenons and high-quality springs increase longevity, while the silver-plated keys provide both durability and aesthetic appeal.
• Balanced response: The undercut tone holes and precisely engineered bore work together to give the instrument a balanced, full sound across all registers with reliable intonation.

Ideal For

• Intermediate-to-advanced students who are ready to upgrade from plastic or entry-level clarinets
• Adult beginners looking for a high-quality first wooden clarinet
• Band and ensemble players who need a reliable instrument for both practice and performance
• Clarinetists who value ergonomic design, solid tone, and longevity in their instrument
