This is a VERY NICE Selmer Alto Clarinet. I can't name any maker that makes a better alto than Selmer. Even the Buffets are inferior in my opinion. The Selmers are clear-voiced have good intonation and have the kind of response you expect in a professional instrument. This one is in very good condition. There are no cracks repaired or otherwise anywhere in the instrument but the upper ring of the upper joint is missing. Keys show some wear. Pads and action are very good and this clarinet feels like its ready to play. Pics tell the rest of the story! Please feel free to email with additional questions. Bid early, bid often!!!
