The Bb Clarinet has been made the same way since the 19th Century, but now metal keys, pillars, pads and screws have been replaced by a radical new design resulting in the unique all plastic model which costs a fraction of the price of other clarinets.

The LYONS C CLARINET allows children to move at their own pace without the hindrances of weight and finger stretch. No longer will children be asked to 'try again next year' because their hands are not big enough.

Thousands of CLARINETS IN C have been sold already, and many teachers now start their pupils on the instrument as a matter of principle. Also adults have bought the instrument, attracted to its price.
