Roy Benson ROY BENSON CB-317 BB CLARINET

Roy Benson: a clarinet designed to start off on the right foot

The Roy Benson CB-317 embodies the brand's spirit: offering accessible instruments designed to support the first years of practice with coherent equipment. The goal is clear: to provide a clarinet that is easy to master, with full keywork and essential elements included, allowing focus on learning breath control, articulation, and intonation.

For which musician, and in which styles?

This clarinet is primarily aimed at beginners and musicians returning to playing who seek a functional and reassuring instrument. It is perfectly suited for use in music schools, personal practice at home, and for approaching varied repertoires: classical (scales, studies, pieces), pop, ensembles, and small groups. Its format and keywork encourage the development of good fingering habits.

Sound and design

With its ebonite body, the CB-317 favors a consistent response and a feeling of stability, useful for working on tone production and sound continuity. The 17 keys / 6 rings keywork allows smooth fingering transitions and progressively addresses dynamics, register equality, and clean legato. The silver-plated nickel silver mechanics contribute to a comfortable grip while providing a sober and traditional visual aspect.

Recommended compatible accessories

The clarinet comes with a complete mouthpiece (ligature and mouthpiece cap) and a case, so you already have the essentials to get started. For maintenance, a swab and cleaning pads can be useful, provided you choose models suited to your clarinet's format.
