CARBONISSIMO

CARBONISSIMO is a dynamic and innovative company specializing in carbon fiber musical accessories for saxophone and clarinet.

Thanks to the attentive listening and time that internationally renowned classical / contemporary music performers have dedicated in the countless tests carried out since 2014, Carbonissimo has developed carbon fiber accessories aimed at facilitating the main demands of the most demanding musicians.

Its design has been carried out taking into account everything related to the technology and development of the manufacturing processes and improvements derived from the opinions of the collaborating professionals.

Jorge Marqués, an engineer with a long career in the world of industry as an Instrumentation Technician, specializes in acoustics and a great music fan, knows the saxophone firsthand. Its objective is to go looking for elements of improvement in this instrument based on its critical sense sense and with a maximum: "everything can and should improve".

With the collaboration of Joan Martí-Frasquier, international soloist of baritone saxophone, they have developed tunnels for this instrument, seeking the optimal result for the interpretation of the classical / contemporary repertoire in large groups as well as in chamber music and as a soloist. In Joan's words: "Sometimes, it is worth leaving the comfort zone to discover other options. If we had not had this concern, surely [we would never have met or collaborated to create and improve these products] or now I would have the set-up with which I feel so good playing. "

Carbon fiber is a very light and resistant material that, due to its low density (1.6 gr / cm3), compared with brass (8.6 g / cm3), copper (8.9 g / cm3), Silver (10.5 g / cm3) or gold (19.3 g / cm3) adds less mass to our set-up, generating less resonance and less resistance to blowing. Thus, our clamps and tunnels produce a round and projected sound, precise emissions, a light and easy chop, great sound stability in extreme dynamics and a homogeneity in the different registers of these instruments.
