Selmer, Series 9, A Clarinet
This Selmer Series 9 A is a commission sale for Clarinets Direct. 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 A clarinet has matching serial nos., X3202 which dates to 1972 making it a late example. The Nickel Silver plating is fine throughout, with no wear. The pads are all tan leather which are used but sealing well. The instrument shows NO evidence of cracks or repairs; the wood condition throughout is very good. The supplied case is a used B&H, and the clarinet comes with an excellent condition Larry Combs, Woodwind Co., m'piece.
