If you live outside of this area- please contact us for your ship rate.Pictured here we have a very nice find in the vintage clarinet department! This is a super nice 1961 Selmer Paris Series 9 Bb Clarinet. Comes with all of its (we believe to be original) pieces -the mouthpiece, ligature & cover, original #9 Barrel, First and Second joints - which have their matching serial numbers (S5455), and original Bell. The case is its (believed to be original) Selmer Vanguard Case. Cork grease is dried up- but we left it with the lot because it is a vintage piece to this listing. The mouthpiece is a Selmer Paris (made in France) and is marked HS*. This mouthpiece has its Selmer Ligature and original Selmer Cap. Mouthpiece is in remarkable shape- no cracks- just some light expected scratching. Very little wear on the mouthpiece.The body joints and barrel are also marked Selmer Paris Series 9. The bell of the clarinet has the matching Selmer Paris logo of the body and has an additional marking- Selmer New York. Please review photos of each piece for clarification.When this piece came in- I researched the serial number on a Selmer Web Site- it appears that this clarinet is dated to 1961. We sent this vintage piece to our instrument tech to make sure that there is no structural damage or leaking. This one checks out fine and is in really good condition. We had two tenon corks installed and had it looked over & played. Plays really great. This is a phenomenal instrument. A clarinet player's dream - especially for its price range. Selmer Paris is well known for intonation and projection that is clear and precise- even when playing at a soft pianissimo level. We did not replace any pads or do any other alterations to this clarinet. It is just as it came into our store (with the exception of the corks). The owner was a pretty clean fella- and kept this one nice. The current pads allow play with no leaking. We will leave any alterations up to the new owner who may want to have this piece professionally cleaned and buffed to restore its original luster. However, we mean what we say when we say it looks really exceptionally great for a 56 year old clarinet! Again- please review the photos and zoom in if you would like.***No funky smells in this instrument or in the case. Was properly stored on a main floor living space As this is a Vintage piece- we do not list this clarinet as being perfect. It may need some adjustments/"tweeking"/tuning to bring it back to full spec and that is perfectly normal for a vintage piece like this one. If you need additional pictures, please let us know and we will be happy to accommodate you. Our description is as accurate and honest as we could possibly post.
