 Re: No love for Selmer?

When I went to the shop to buy my good clarinet, I had no idea about brands, and just knew what I wanted my new clarinet to sound like and feel like in my hands.

I tried 5 clarinets at around £2500 price, including Selmer, Yamaha and Buffet.

I discounted the Selmer immediately because the ergonomics was all wrong for my hands. The keys were just not in the right place for my fingers.

The Buffet keys were better positioned, but the Yamaha was the one that really sounded great and had the good ergonomics for me.

I was really surprised because my prejudice walking into the shop had been an assumption that the Yamaha instruments would be like a school recorder. On actually trying them out, I found that for me the Yamaha models were head and shoulders above the others. The Yamaha that sounded and played best was also £700 cheaper than all the others I tried.
