Vintage Selmer USA Bb Boehm Clarinet
$585
Here's a curious instrument: a Bb Boehm system clarinet marked "Selmer Elkhart New York". Its not a Paris Selmer (although some of the keywork looks a lot like vintage Selmer), so I'm guessing it was made here of French parts. It is grenadilla wood with solid nickel alloy keys/ posts, and a large bore of .585", like the Selmer Centered Tone clarinet of the same period! All pieces are original and show a couple old repairs, but its in excellent condition.
Its been disassembled, soaked in oil, swedged and countersunk, body, keys and posts buffed, new white Roo leather pads and key/tenon corks installed. This well made clarinet is in great shape for its age and has a big, focused tone with good intonation and comfortable ergonomics. Comes with period (possibly original) case in clean, solid condition.
