Chances are the color of the clarinet is from bleaching due to exposure to
ultraviolet light through its unprotected life. That should cause no other
significant problems, assuming it is not cracked already, and receives a
good oiling from your technician. I play a W-series Selmer Series 10
myself, and enjoy its direct, powerful sound very much. I think it
compares quite favorably with Selmer's current top models, including the
Signature and Recital.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is TOO LOUD!
