All Rossi clarinets are Boehm System, hand-made in adherence to the highest
standards of quality,maintaining the now-classic design of one-piece body plus
barrel and bell.
They are available in the following pitches:
American model
Compact and powerful. Solid dark sound, with built - in focus and brilliance.
Polycylindrical bore.The middle of the bore measures 14.7 mm. in diameter
Barrels for A = 440 and 442 included. Shorter or longer barrels also available.
French model
Flexible and resilient, with a powerful, woody, sweet sound. Excellent projection. Bore dimensions closely resemble the American model, as do the response and intonation.
The upper part of the bore is evenly tapered instead of polycylindrical. Barrels for A = 440 and 442 included. Shorter or longer barrels also available.
LR model
Warm and clear, the LR combines a robust powerful resonance with an extremely smooth and mellow timbre. American polycylindrical bore with tonehole placement derived from the French model creates a sound which is very powerful but slightly less "direct" sounding than the American model. Ideal for players who like an A clarinet tonal quality on both their B flat and A clarinets. Barrels for A = 440 and 442 included. Shorter or longer barrels also available.
