SELMER PARIS SERIES 9 Bb CLARINET

An extremely fine Selmer Series 9 Bb Clarinet with 7 rings, i.e. it has a LH forked Eb/Bb. The 9* was marketed by Selmer as "pour la musique symphonique", the 9 was "pour le jazz et les varietes." The Nickel Silver keywork is excellent with no plating loss. The Grenadilla wood is in very fine condition for an instrument of this vintage, with no cracks or damage. The clarinet  has had a complete overhaul in Pisoni Premium Deluxe Tan Leather pads and is sold with the invoice for this work, dated April 2008; it has had no use since then. The clarinet measures 15.25mm at the top of the reverse cone of the upper joint. The matching serial numbers are V2691, dating to 1967. The case is the original in good condition, with keys, & the mouthpiece a Selmer B* in ebonite.
