Mystery Selmer bass identification

Author: Ken Rasmussen

I'm having a Selmer bass clarinet that plays to low C shipped to me so I can examine it. It is not identified as to what model it is. I presume that I can get the approximate date of manufacture from the serial number--I've already located a web site that gives that information. It must be a professional model, or it would not have the extended range. My question is: What are the models that it could be, and when were those models produced? Thanks for your help.

Hi,

My info might not be perfectly correct But it has worked for me.

First off if it is a 37 it would have articulated or sax style Right hand palm keys.
ALso the Low C tone holes should be lined up along one side of the instrument.

IF it was a 33 it would have the RH palm keys like soprano clarinets and would also have the low C tone holes off to the side a little.
