SELMER, PARIS, EEb CONTRA-ALTO CLARINET, £4000

This is an excellent condition Selmer Contra-Alto clarinet in Rosewood, which has been owned by a British collector, who had a large collection of Contra-Bass clarinets. Unfortunately his redundancy forces this sale. The Selmer Contra-Alto is generally considered the finest in the world, due to its excellent response and fine ergonomics. It plays almost as easily as a Bass clarinet.
This instrument is in pristine condition, without cracks or damage to the wood. The pads are all tan leather and in very fine condition. The Nickel silver plating is also excellent throughout, with no wear. The matching serial nos. are A6821 which dates to the early 1980's. The supplied m'piece is a Selmer C*, which is again in very good condition. The original case shows some exterior scuffs, but the interior is excellent.
