Selmer, Series 9, Full Boehm B Flat Clarinet
This is a Selmer Series 9 Bb Clarinet. This is a Full Boehm with all the "bells and whistles" : Fork Eb/Bb, alternative LH Ab/Eb, articulated C#/G# and low Eb. The Series 9 was the last of the jazz wide bore clarinets made by Selmer, with the top of the reverse cone at the start of the upper joint measuring 15.25mm. However these instruments were also popular with classical players; the great French virtuoso Ulysse Delecluse played Selmer Series 9. This Bb clarinet has matching serial nos., Y0470 which dates to 1974 making it one of the last Series 9 clarinet manufactured. All pieces are matching and original, and an additional ebonite shorter barrel is included, which is not original The Silver plating is very good throughout, with no wear, only slight tarnish on a few key barrels. The pads are all tan leather in good order, and are sealing well. The instrument shows NO evidence of cracks or repairs; the wood condition throughout is very good. The supplied m'piece is a Vandoren B45 in good used condition. The case is an original Selmer as pictured in the first 3 photos.
