Selmer Récital EVOLUTION★ Bb Clarinet

PLEASE CALL FOR AVAILABILITY

Unavoidable pillars of the Henri SELMER Paris range, the 'Récital' clarinets offer an incomparable density and roundness of sound.

A sophisticated bore, and the matter as well, a particularly selected and worked Grenadilla wood, have made possible the genesis of a particular sonority; noble and living matter, the wood itself gives the "Recital" this warm, rich and round tone, with an exceptional presence (diameter of the joints is bigger than a traditional model, by two millimeters).

Larger diameter joints than standard models, adjustable thumb rest, Key of A, Grenadilla wood, Bore 14.30mm/.567 inch, Key system Boehm standard (18 Keys, 6 rings), silver plated nickel silver keys, double skin pads, blue steel needle springs, Selmer Paris C-85/120 mouthpiece, Selmer Paris Light Case.

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.
