"They're addictive — I have five!"  
       - Paquito D'Rivera​

The design, handed down to Mr. Rossi from his mentor, John McCaw, then fine-tuned for decades, allows for an easy feel, warm resonance, and smooth transition between registers. With hand-made key-work and a final tuning process given to each instrument by the maker himself, Rossi clarinets are recognized worldwide for their consistency and tonal quality. The now classic one-piece body is just one of the features that contribute to making a Rossi such a powerful companion in any clarinet player's career. 

       
          Among the differences:

• Chimneys are an integral part of the body of the clarinet, eliminating the possibility of leaks.​
• Wooden rings on barrel and bell.
• Two tuning barrels.
• Extra adjusting metal screws to avoid cork replacement.
• Side B and Bb trill keys mounted on separate posts.
• Heavily silver-plated key-work.
• One piece body, allowing for increased resonance, as well as perfect placement of the C#/G# tone-hole.
