This is a test demonstrating the Libertas II Bb's tuning of the of the low register and right hand clarion twelfths.
These pitches usually have egregious tuning spreads which is why some makers have added additional keys and tone holes to help correct the flatness of the lowest pitches including the infamously flat low F.
On the Libertas II this tuning correction has been accomplished with the standard 17/6 clarinet mechanism. There is no need for any added keys or tone holes if the acoustic is designed correctly.
We'd encourage you to compare these 12ths with those of your present clarinet.
Tom Ridenour demonstrates the Libertas II Bb Clarinet playing several "Rose Etudes".
The Lyrique Libertas II Bb clarinet
​
The Lyrique Libertas II is the clarinet I've hoped to make for over a decade now, a clarinet that possesses many of the same playing and acoustical characteristics of the Opus/Concerto clarinets I designed in the 1990s...but with a big difference: these clarinets play better than any clarinets, wood or hard rubber, I've ever played, and of course, they won't crack and break your heart.
Another feature that clarinetists will find exciting is the price: The Lyrique Libertas II costs a fraction of the price of top line wood clarinets!! I believe this clarinet can change the way many people think about clarinets.
The Lyrique Libertas is a clarinet for those who would prefer more freedom, flexibility, lower-register resonance, and color variability than the Lyrique 576.
The Lyrique Libertas comes with two barrels, swab, cork grease and a beautiful case. The Libertas can be ordered with the Ridenour RE-5, or one of the Ridenour Professional mouthpieces, or none at all.
