Forza model presentation (video)


Picture
As a result of years of in-depth research, Forza is the most advanced Rossi model and solves two of the major acoustic challenges of the clarinet.
Its main achievement is improving the tuning of the lowest notes (E and F) without the need to add special vent keys to the keyboard. In other words, Forza’s acoustics allow for better twelfths, achieving a more balanced transition between different registers.
Additionally, Forza incorporates the Rossi mechanism, which enhances the resonance of the throat B-flat.
These innovations set it apart and give it an advantage over other clarinets on the market.
The Forza also carries all of the features that characterize any Rossi, including:​


  • Tone-hole side keys for F#, Eb, C#/B#, and B/F# safely located out of the path of condensation.​
  • R.H. side trill keys for B and Bb mounted on independent posts.
  • Ab/Eb lever for L.H. pinkie.​


All Rossi clarinets use the Boehm system, handmade in adherence to the highest standards of quality, and maintaining the now classic one-piece body plus barrel and bell.
​
  • ​​American
Compact and powerful. Solid dark sound, with built-in focus and brilliance.
Poly-cylindrical bore. The middle of the bore measures 14.65 mm. in diameter.

Barrels for A = 440 and 442 included. Shorter or longer barrels also available.
​
  • ​French
​Flexible and resilient, with a powerful, woody, sweet sound. Excellent projection. Bore dimensions closely resemble the American model, as do the response and intonation.
The upper part of the bore is evenly tapered instead of poly-cylindrical. Barrels for A = 440 and 442 included. Shorter or longer barrels also available.
​
  • LR
​Warm and clear, the LR combines a robust powerful resonance with an extremely smooth and mellow timbre. American poly-cylindrical bore with tone-hole placement derived from the French model creates a sound which is very powerful but slightly less "direct" sounding than the American model. Ideal for players who like an A clarinet tonal quality on both their B flat and A clarinets. Barrels for A = 440 and 442 included. Shorter or longer barrels also available.
  • Vecchio
The poli-cylindrical bore provides the warmth and complexity of sound expected of a Rossi, favoring a focused tone. A french style keyboard including Ab/Eb lever for the left pinkie contributes to a lighter instrument. Barrels for A = 440 and 442 included. Shorter or longer barrels also available.
