Selmer, Paris, E Flat Clarinet
This is an excellent condition Selmer Eb Piccolo Clarinet in Grenadilla wood, which is a commission sale for Clarinets Direct. The sole and original owner is a U. K. based professional who bought this clarinet new in 1983. Selmer Paris Eb clarinets are considered the finest professional instruments available worldwide due to their superb intonation and ergonomics. The serial nos. are C3523. The wood condition overall is excellent: There are no cracks or repairs. This Eb has used Pisoni tan leather pads, all in good condition and is in fine regulation. All silver plated keywork is in perfect condition with no wear. The longest of the 2 barrels, a 45mm, has had the tenon ring filed down to allow the use of longer Eb reeds, i.e. German White Master. See photo 10. The other barrel of 43.5mm is unaltered. The used Ortolla case protects the clarinet well, but there is some fraying to the case exterior.
