The new SeleS by Selmer Paris line of instruments brings true Selmer Paris professional performance and quality in to a more affordable price range. In the past, Selmer has tried to provide an instrument that was in a more affordable price range, but the previous models simply didn’t perform up to a high enough standard to sway clarinetists. The new SeleS Presence A Clarinet completely turns that around. This time, Selmer has delivered what the modern clarinetist needed – a Great Professional Clarinet at a more affordable price point.

Plainly put, the SeleS Presence A Clarinet is one of the most impressive values on the clarinet market today.

The intonation and performance characteristics of the Presence A Clarinet compete even with Selmer’s top tier clarinets. This clarinet truly offers value without the sacrifice of performance! In the modern clarinet world, the Presence A Clarinet should absolutely be at the top of the list of consideration for any player in search of a new professional clarinet.

Its body is constructed out of premium aged grenadilla wood and padded with Valentino synthetic pads  The key features of the Presence are comfortable silver key work, adjustable thumb rest, metal tenon rings and a 66.5 barrel.

About the EVOLUTION★ system from Selmer:

Henri SELMER Paris is proud to present EVOLUTION★, a new system available on all our professional B-flat and A clarinets. This innovation combines a new generation resin into the wood, allowing better stability and longevity of the instrument, all while preserving the acoustic qualities of a wooden clarinet.
WOOD + RESIN: THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
The interior diameter of the upper joint is enlarged, only on the upper half, to combine the resin. The final boring is then done in a traditional way – by hand and with our same tools. The resin used is a new patented resin. It is from a biomass that does not contain bisphenol A (BPA). BPA has been substituted with molecules derived from biomass.

THE ACOUSTIC QUALITY OF THE PRESERVED WOODEN CLARINET
Scientific studies along with blind acoustic tests demonstrated that there is no notable difference in sound between traditional clarinets and EVOLUTION★ system clarinets.

The thermal conductivity characteristics of the resin are superior to those of ebony, and the acoustic trials done at the Orchestre National de l’Opéra de Paris confirmed it: clarinets equipped with the EVOLUTION★ system heat up more quickly and efficiently, so you can begin tuning faster.
