The Clarinéo is a beginner's instrument with a professional sound, designed to make playing a serious woodwind instrument easier than ever before.

“A beginner has 100% more chance of succeeding on a Clarinéo than on any other woodwind instrument.” –Sir John Dankworth.

Modern materials and technology have reduced the weight so that even a 6-year-old child can play comfortably. These benefits are not at the expense of tone or tuning.

The Clarinéo is an instrument for life. It has a lovely solo sound yet its tone blends seamlessly with other instruments.

Did you know that if you learn the Clarinéo you can transfer your skill immediately to the clarinet or saxophone – and you would be well ahead if you tried other woodwind instruments such as the oboe or bassoon?

But make no mistake! The Clarinéo is not a substandard instrument. It can play (if you can!) the whole of Mozart's clarinet concerto, Trad, Swing, and modern improvised jazz. The Clarinéo has squared the magical musical circle: a beginner's instrument with a professional sound.
