Author: winders

I had been tried Selmer Paris Series 9 with Full Boehm system, and the key is very small for left pinky hand if compared with Yamaha,.
Is all of Selmer Paris clarinet has a small key??
how about buffet and leblanc?

I use a series nine and have some pretty big hands, but don't have any problems with the left pinky. Right pinky when getting on that lower inner F#/C# can be tricky however.

You may find the right hand low Eb a stretch on a Leblanc full Boehm - I bent this key up on mine to make it easier to reach.

Here's a photo of full Boehms as a comparison
(from left to right - Selmer Series 9, Leblanc LL, Buffet, Selmer CT, Series 9):

And my set of Series 9 full Boehms in a modified Yamaha double case:
