Selmer Recital Bb soprano clarinet

Bore: 14,35 mm
N° 2 barrels: 62,5 mm e 64,5 mm

Serial: E9935 (August 1992)


The “Recital” ha always been the “woodiest” Selmer clarinet.
Somebody may consider it a “challenging” instrument to play (because of mass of wood), somebody else – instead – just realizes that this is “different” and “unique” compared to other clarinets with a larger bore and less wood, both from Selmer and Buffet & Crampon.

This instrument has been originally bought new in Dallas (TX). The serial says it’s from August 1992.
Light signs of use, less that from you expect from a 32 years old clarinet. Ready to play.
It has always treated with care and respect, it received a general overhaul in 2022 (in a Selmer Certified Repair Center). It's ready-to-play.

Other things to report:
• there is a small repair on t he lower tenon, done at least 20 years ago, a 2 mm chip of wood glued back to the tenon.
• the original case is kind of “well used”.
