Hello, is there any Selmer L series players who wants to share the pleasure of playing old wood ?
I mostly play Selmer Alto clarinet, but you know, everyone needs to have a Bb. clarinet with him... I finally choose between the old Selmer Bb. models... part because I really like them (and I also love modern Selmer clarinets of course, like Privilège, St Louis, or Classic improved ones like 10S), part because I don’t have enough money : I play several instruments and can’t buy all I want.
So : I decided to go to a L Series, and WoW ! it is really the sound I was looking for.
I do like Selmer clarinets and wanted one, and I feel comfortable with the old cylindrical bore. I finally found my clarinet at « Clarinets Direct » shop, England, and the instrument just arrived this afternoon at home, in France.
I found my L clarinet was sharp, the barrel is actually short. I put a longer barrel my repairman had in a drawer, from a Centered Tone, the « A 440 » now pitches perfectly, and it does not affect the overall sound.
I play with a Selmer C85 120 mouthpiece which is very good and fits well with this clarinet, great response and flexibility. The clarinet itself is sweet and mellow, reactive, I love Selmer keywork and I have the sound I want effortlessly.
There’s a picture of it with this message.
What about yours ?
