If you like Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman, the Selmers you'd be after are the large bore ones from the Balanced Tone through to the Centered Tone, so any made from 1936-1960 (K-R prefixes) are worth hunting down.

All the current Selmers are narrow bore clarinets, so the bore sizes are from around 14.3mm to around 14.65mm as opposed to the large bores of around 15mm (and large toneholes) of the older models.

The Recital has a small bore but has thick diameter joints which are completely cylindrical on the outside. The outer diameter of the joints is that of the bell socket ring all the way up to the barrel, so they weigh a ton.

Prestige is a name used by Buffet for what was previously their top end range of clarinets.
