 An 'A' clarinet to partner Selmer 10G Bb
Author: nickma

I got blown out on the 10G E series 'A' I was recently hoping to buy - Selmer wouldn't play ball to take account of a 4 inch split - so I'm back to square 1.

Now because 10G A clarinets don't grow on trees, I'm wondering if I should pick another model/ make.

Does anyone have a view what might partner well?

I can get a good value Recital in A, which shares the 10 series designation in the Selmer catalogue, but the bore dimensions are much smaller; or would a Buffet RC in A be a better bet? I'm not averse to mis-pairing if I can find a good pairing.

I still hold out some hope for locating a 10G A but just in case, any guidance would be great.

Thanks for your help!

Nick

The Signature would be a fairly close match to the 10G for a Selmer.

The Recital is a quite different feeling instrument. I like the newer Recitals, don't like the older ones which would most likely date around the same time as an E series 10G.


The Buffet RC would also be a great choice.

I'd probably go to a place like Weiner, WWBW, or another large scale seller and try many so that you can figure out for yourself what works well for you.


I played a 10G A Clarinet all through College. Was playing on an R-13 Bb which was starting to go past it's better days, so I got a set of E series 10G's but didn't end up keeping them.
