Frequently Asked Questions

The synthetic resin insert dampens vibrations, resulting in a slightly more focused and controlled tone – less 'raw' than earlier models, but with improved clarity.
Selmer’s design is generally well-regarded, but players with smaller hands may find the Eb lever slightly less accessible than on some other clarinet designs – a trial is recommended.
While the standard keywork is excellent, the 18/6 configuration isn’t optimized for *extreme* extended techniques; however, it’s more versatile than a standard 17-key model.
