With the power needed to anchor the wind section and carry any hall coupled with the singing timbre required for soloistic performance, Selmer Paris bass clarinets have remained the instrument of choice for orchestral clarinetists for generations. As an authorized Selmer Paris dealer, we were happy to get this special black keyed edition in the shop. We thought we'd share why with a little video of one of our repair techs, Marissa, playing it.
Gorgeous.
Hope you enjoy it!
