I bought a Selmer Recital, the upper part cracked after 4 weeks, I got a new=
=20
one, yesterday, after 4 weeks, a crack in th upper part. I have been careful=
,=20
have played first 15 minutes , than 5 - 10 minutes more any day.=20
Just fur fun I have tried 4 Selmer Clarinet mouthpieces, the facing length=20
should be 19 mm, I have measured 12 to 21mm.
OK, I live in Germany and B=F6hm-Clarinets ar not very popular here, but I=20
think, the quality of Selmer Clarinets get worse, hopefully not their=20
guarantee.
The problem (or better challenge) is, I still love the sound of Selmer.

I' m really interested if any of You made similar Selmer -experiences.
