RE: Let's discuss Selmer clarinets

I have only played one Signature and did not experience the stuffiness that seems to be the majority of other experiences. I thought that the horn was one of the nicest sounding horns I've played. The low end was incredible. The intonation perfect. I did find it heavy as stated and being a Leblanc player found the key placement a bit awkward, nothing some time with the horn couldn't cure. I have a Bay mouthpiece maybe it suited the horn I was playing better than some. I think, as Rob is eluding to, some Selmers are particular as to the mouthpiece that will make them sing.

I was considering buying a Omega. There is two different models in production now. One is made in Paris, One in the USA. The USA clarinet is supposedly there top of the line model with a .577 bore. The Paris model is the same dimensions as the Prologue with a .570 bore. (please correct me if I have the bore sizes wrong) I've not played either of them. There is no mention of either horn on the Selmer web site. They also had the Omega made in the '50s but I am not sure of the dimensions. I am very glad to here all the praise about the LL because I just last night bought a used one. I have not received it yet, I can't wait to here it! I hope mine is all you guys think they are.

Ciao for now,

jv
