Jean Paul CL-400 Intermediate Bb Clarinet, French Boehm 17-Key System

• WIND INSTRUMENTS FOR THE PEOPLE: Jean Paul's mission is to make quality musical instruments more accessible. The CL-400 is designed for students progressing beyond the beginner level, offering durable construction, responsive playability, and reliable performance for lessons, rehearsals, and school band programs. Its value-focused design helps make an intermediate-level clarinet more attainable for families, students, and music educators.
• PRECISE INTONATION ACROSS THE FULL REGISTER: Engineered for accurate intonation from rich chalumeau lows through soaring altissimo highs. The French Boehm key system (17 keys, 6 rings) gives advancing players the intuitive layout, extended range, and responsive action that intermediate repertoire demands.
• SILVER-PLATED KEYS, SYNTHETIC PADS, BLUE STEEL SPRINGS: Silver-plated cupronickel keys with blue steel springs deliver smooth, even action and corrosion resistance that holds up better than nickel plating. Synthetic pads provide an airtight seal across humidity swings, where traditional fish-skin pads warp or leak. Fewer trips to the repair bench, more time playing.
• DUAL-BARREL DESIGN FOR ACCURATE PITCH CONTROL: Two machined barrels (65mm and 62mm) let advancing players fine-tune intonation to any room temperature or tuning standard, the way professional players do. The matte ABS body resists warping from humidity and temperature extremes, so the horn arrives ready and stays that way through marching, classroom, and concert use.
• NAPBIRT-CERTIFIED SETUP IN THE U.S.: Every CL-400 is set up and play-tested by a NAPBIRT-certified technician in the U.S. before it ships. Pad seating, key heights, spring tension, and regulation across linked keys are all dialed in before the horn leaves the warehouse. Includes the CL-4 mouthpiece, ligature and cap, Rico Reed #2.5, cleaning swab, and cork grease.
