Selmer - Clarinets
Henri Selmer Paris instruments
The instruments of the famous Henri Selmer Paris brand have been made in France for more than a century in their workshops in Mantes-la-Ville. Thus, they carry the high standards of the musicians who conceive them and the passionate craftsmen who make them.
The clarinet of Henri Selmer Paris
The Muse clarinet is aimed at musicians looking for instruments with a precise and direct sound.
It is intended to be a source of inspiration for artists, to lead them to creative freedom, beauty,
universal harmony. Its ergonomic comfort is identical to that of the Privilège and Présence models, which have been tried and tested by many clarinetists throughout the world.
A thumb adjustable spatula for the low E and F key is available on this clarinet.
Muse, the new Recital
The Eb clarinet is a solo instrument in the clarinet section. Its repertoire is delicate and places the instrument at the forefront of many symphonic works.
The Eb Recital, designed in the 1980s, is recognised as one of the best references on the market. Henri Selmer Paris had to integrate the latest advances in acoustics, ergonomics and aesthetics into the instrument. The Eb Recital clarinet has now been replaced by the new Eb Muse clarinet, directly inspired by its predecessor.
The Eb Muse clarinet is the result of the acoustic qualities of the Eb Recital and the latest improvements in the areas of tuning, ergonomics and mechanics. This new tool will give you great playing confidence in any situation.
Unique features
The Eb Muse clarinet is the clarinetist's most trusted tool: its bore, outer diameter, balance of tuning, new ergonomics and mechanics benefit from the demanding design and excellent manufacturing quality of Henri Selmer Paris clarinets. Its unique dimensional characteristics and the quality of the woods used give the musician the freedom to round out the timbre of the instrument, which is naturally rich in overtones.
