I have owned and or played professionally on Selmer Paris Low C bass clarinets since 1969. For me, the sound and projection of the model 33 basses, 1968-72 have the most projecting and beautiful sound . However, the intonation , particularly of the b , c and C sharp just above the throat register was consistently sharp. Modern Selmer basses, such as the model 37 and Privilege have excellent intonation on these notes and have flat low e and f's. The mechanism and general ergonomics are better on the newer models. In my opinion, the Selmer Paris bass clarinets have all produced a beautiful, lyrical tone quality in the mid and upper registers. I have played over 1200 performances of the Nutcracker Ballet over the years with these instruments.
