Description brand: selmer key: Bb
Up for sale is this model 55 Bb Boehm system clarinet by Selmer, France. Dates to mid 40's and is grenadilla wood with nickel alloy keys and an extra large bore of .595". It is in great vintage condition, with a few signs of use but tight key-work and good tenons and chimneys. It has been disassembled, soaked in oil, keys swedged and countersunk (to remove lost motion), body and keys buffed, all new Ferree tan leather pads and cork installed, and reassembled and adjusted for optimal play-ability. Full, warm tone, good ergonomics and intonation. I am well satisfied with this instrument! Comes with period case,(probably original) which is in good condition. Please see for more pics and information. Please note that auctions may end at any time, as these instruments are often also offered on my website - 'The Vintage Clarinet Doctor" My Qualifications I am a trained woodwind instrument tech and past member of NAPBIRT (the National Association of Professional Band Instrument Repair Technicians) working out of a private shop in Central VA and have restored many instruments for sale on ebay. I believe that my 12 years of positive feedback speaks for itself and that you will be happy with this item! Please check out the Vintage Clarinet Doctor on Facebook! Why Vintage Clarinets? I believe that vintage clarinets represent one of the most underpriced and underutilized resources on the market. While there is some junk out there, there are many makes and models that are good to excellent players if properly overhauled and that will provide satisfaction to collectors, students and even pro players while saving the buyer hundreds of dollars! Nickel and grenadilla wood are increasingly finite resources and the craftsmanship on some of these old horns makes them a real pleasure to own. Why not try a vintage clarinet from the Vintage Clarinet Doctor see the difference for yourself? Shipping and Returns Shipping is free in the USA or as arranged internationally.
