Selmer has recently introduced the "Signature" clarinet, comparable, I
suppose, to the Leblanc Opus in terms of being "high grade." Next after
that are the Series 10's: Recital, 10G, and 10S II. Most pro-grade
clarinets should be available with gold-PLATED keys on special order, but
expect to wait and pay through the nose. The difference should be almost
entirely cosmetic. "Gold-filled," if I am not mistaken, is a term that
just means VERY heavily gold-plated.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
