Hi, R. J.:

The Selmer 1400 was designed with outdoors use in mind. The springs, pivot screws, and rods are stainless steel for corrosion resistance. The Armstrong lacks this feature. If there's any chance your clarinet could get exposed to rain, snow, water sprinklers, dank locker rooms, and the like out on the job, you'll want to use the Selmer.

When it's time to have the Selmer serviced, you might want to investigate having cork and/or Valentino pads installed. Both will further enhance the weather-resistance of your clarinet.

Anybody serious about the clarinet needs a worry-free instrument for outdoors. A Selmer 1400, when properly maintained and set up properly, can be a very nice solution.

Cheers...Greg
