RZ Woodwinds produces exceptional musical instruments in the Kraslice-Klingenthal-Markneukirchen region of Czech Republic, where musical instrument making has been a tradition since the 17th century. The RZ Vivo Plateau System Bb Clarinet is produced to the same exacting standards as RZ professional clarinets and offers the hard-to-find plateau system.

The ABS plastic body is virtually impervious to cracking and combined with the RZ polycylindrical bore, offers a rich tone. The Plateau System key work with 17 keys and 6 covered “rings” is a great way for beginners to learn the basic fingering patterns without the worry over covering open holes and can also be easier and more comfortable for more advanced players who suffer from arthritis or other joint issues in their hands. A Plateau System Clarinet may also be useful for woodwind doublers more comfortable on instruments without open rings.

The RZ Vivo Bb Clarinet has a quality build with leather pads, silver plated keys, and an adjustable thumb rest. This clarinet also comes with a 65mm barrel, an RZ student mouthpiece and ligature, cleaning set, and protective case.
