Hi
Can anyone please help me identify the model of a used Selmer Paris Clarinet .
The instrument is owned by a friend who does not have internet access and I know very little about clarinets .
I have tried to find the model but cannot find anything which has the little gold " badge on the front " .
Any help would be much appreciated

Chris P,
I have to say I really enjoy reading your replies to people's questions and comments. You are certainly a font of knowledge! Your responses and general comments are always informative, respectful, and well written.
When you replied to Mustar above, I thought.... I wonder if the photos are part of your collection or are those stock photos from somewhere. I'm thinking you probably have a nice collection of intsruments!
Anyway, thank you for your insight, knowledge, and participation in this forum!

From looking at the pictures Mustar posted this is a Selmer Paris St. Louis model, which as Chris points out is a more recent clarinet. And from I've seen reading it seems it was quite good, although they didn't make or import very many of them.

For some reason or other I didn't see the attachments the first time round so made a guess, but that is definitely a Selmer St. Louis (with 'SL' in the gold badge).
From what I understand, the St. Louis is a very nice clarinet. Only I've never had the opportunity to see or even play one. I don't even know anyone that owns one.
Both Bb and A St. Louis clarinets use the same barrels.

It's a horrible clarinet. Send it to me and I'll dispose of it properly.
