The Selmer 210 is a fairly recent model (I believe replaced by the 211 in
the last year or so). It is made by Selmer USA and is similar to the
Signet/100/103 series clarinets but is a step up from those. It has a .573
bore, smaller than the 100/103's .577. The standard mouthpiece, according
to the catalog, is a Selmer Paris C85, which is not a bad piece, in my
opinion. The 210 MAY be tuned to A=442, but I can't swear to that.

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