Selmer Paris instruments have been played by many well. If you are making the jump to the larger instrument or just need a solid student instrument for outdoor use look no further. Henri Selmer Paris is a French enterprise, manufacturer of musical instruments based at Mantes-la-Ville near Paris.Founded in 1885, it is known as a producer of professional-grade woodwind and brass instruments, especially saxophones, clarinets and trumpets.Henri Selmer Paris used to be family-owned but was sold to Argos-Wityu in 2018. The Bass Clarinet comes with case and mouthpiece. Our Inside Technician has adjusted the instrument to General Playing Conditions. This unit has seen a lot of usage with much of the key mechanism and bell discolored to a dull finish. This unit was made in the USA approximately twenty-five years ago and its Serial Number is 783XX. The Bell has been Hand-Hammered and made out of Brass. To ease in playing the larger instrument, Selmer has included a Fixed Thumb-rest and the Bass Clarinet has an Instrument Peg for better physical control of the unit. The Cylindrical Bore and Leather Pads help insure a strong-consistent sound when in use. Featuring Resonite ABS Body and Nickel Silver Keys, the instrument is a strong choice amongst beginning Bass Clarinet players. The crack was previously pinned.Selmer's iconic 1430 Model Bass Clarinet has stood the test of time. Various tweaks could help this clarinet, depending on the mouthpiece and style of playing being used.Ĭondition issues noted: I fixed a longish crack at the top of the LH joint. But if he chooses to sell, I would think there would be a ready market in Europe for an Albert system clarinet that plays this well in tune. This clarinet is most appropriate for: David Love. It is a pro-model, made in Paris, SN N1215, silver plated, low Eb, and has 43 stamped on the horn.
Key work quality: Good standard key quality for the time this was made, perhaps 1918. Selmer Bass Clarinet Identification Author: Date: 00:24 I have a Selmer Bass Clarinet that Im having trouble identifying. It seems best to get in the habit of playing those with extra fingers down (almost all of them) and perhaps lipping down as well. This one only plays sharp in the A and Bb throat tones. Usually there are some sharp notes on a clarinet. A shorter barrel would help the flatness in the lower and clarion registers. Thanks for the information concerning the 1430P and LP crooks, but I was wondering if anyone had discovered a replacement crook for the old Bundy Bass Clarinets that was either slightly longer than the original or included an adjuster in the middle of the crook (apart from what I consider a rather expensive idea of putting a Bauhaus on a Bundy ). So some players could be a couple of cents higher in the clarion register.
But bear in mind that I test playing loud, and I generally use a 64mm barrel on standard clarinets. Intonation summary: The intonation would be improved by using a shorter barrel. 13 without resonance fingering, 1 with r.f.ĭo not depress the Ab key while playing A!
