Re: Black Clarinet of Selmer

Haven't seen the all black Selmer yet...not sure what I'll think. Can anybody post a pic/link?

For my tastes, the worst looking are the Backuns. Too whimsical and Lord of the Rings-ish for me. They're not the only ones making them like that, but seem to be the leading example.

I can't stand the look of ringless bells and barrels either, so the old B & H horns are not for me, stylistically. In the middle of the pack are vintage Buffet R-13s and Selmer CTs/BTs (I like the LOOK of the Buffets better than the Selmers, but like how the Selmers play).

For my money, the best looking clarinet of all is probably the Fritz Wurlitzer R-B from the early '50s.

All personal taste though, and decidedly secondary...sound is king.
