I saw a Selmer Artys clarinet on ebay and wondered if the sellers description of it being "better for big band and jazz than for classical" was anything more than a sales pitch. (There is a quote from a review of the clarinet from WWBW but I think it is the sellers own review). I have not played one and wondered if anyone had any experience, positive or negative with the Artys.

The Selmer is a .571 bore, which is not a "big bore" clarinet. Although I haven't played on one it would seem that it would be more suited for classical/recital use.

The Signature and Recital models have departed from normal "French bore" designs to give players more tone control.
The Signature model is VERY resistant, and the Recital has a particularly thick body wall - both producing a sound distinct from their normal "French bore"
designs.
I think the Selmer 9 was the pinnacle of original sound from Selmer, and the Series 10 their most refined design.
Those instruments were made in great numbers, to high standards, and are readily available at a fraction of the Artys cost.
