The 902 is free-blowing, with a beautiful tone that is clear and vibrant. The Boehm French style keywork is constructed from solid rigid German nickel-silver and finished with silver plating for a striking look and great feel.
The intermediate model in The Wilmington Bb clarinet line is made from a composite of hard rubber and grenadilla wood with a brushed wood-grain look. The body’s ability to withstand changes in temperature and humidity practically eliminates the risk of cracks and is low maintenance. The body of the clarinet is machined on a 4 axis CNC machine for a highly consistent result.

I recently received the Wilmington 902 clarinet and I must say, I'm quite impressed. The action and padding are perfect, and a great improvement on my old King Excella (45 years of hard labor). It has a very bright tone, but warm enough to replace my old solid wood horn. The cork pad on the register key and adjustment screws on the low E and F# are nice touches. I found the supplied mouthpiece played similar to my Vandoren M-15 88. I'll use it as a standby.
Thanks again for a carefully made, quality product.
