Wow! If Selmer seems exotic, you have a wonderful journey of unfolding discovery ahead of you! Really too bad you missed ClarinetFest, as they have the whole line sitting there for people to try out. Really, don't buy something that expensive unplayed because you want to try it out! Haven't played Selmers longer than a few minutes, but one of the big players in town plays them at least sometimes--his picture's on a poster as a Selmer artist, anyway. Might be wrong, but I believe he switched to them at some point after I first heard him. Fantastic player, but I sort of liked his sound a little better before. Maybe there are things he can do on Selmers better or more easily, but there used to be a certain elegance that I haven't heard recently. A huge amount depends on what kind of playing you want to do, and how you want to sound doing it.
