The Clarinet BBoard

Re: Soprano Selmer Privilege

Author: Dm Zisl  Date:   2015-01-25 01:48 I know this thread is super old. But if anyone's interested, I have recently switched from Buffet Festival Bb to Selmer Privilege Bb, got a pre-2014 (Mark I) iteration of it. I cannot put it down. It is such a live, vibrant, breathing horn that effortlessly plays in tune across its entire range! A noticeable difference with Buffet Festival in altissimo (including b6 - c7). Thanks to the metal resonators on the low keys (or whatever else) it projects amazingly well, without "screaming." Extremely versatile instrument. With one and the same setup you can play a wide variety of genres and styles, just changing your embouchure. For the sake of clarity, I play mostly klezmer, do a lot of music theater, also classical, jazz, fusion, Balkan/ klezmer brass band.... in other words, I am using it with different setups in all kinds of situations. Finally, there are some of these horns in NOS (new old stock) available for sale at bargain prices. Look up Thomann, the Bay of E, Matthews, and even your local Craigslist. To each his own, but many of you, once you adopt the Privilege, will never look back, like myself. PS. Currently looking for a bargain Privilege in A. I know they are somewhere around...
