Selmer clarinets are amid the most general brands in the world for school band clarinets. If you see a 13-year-old carrying a clarinet to school, it will in all probability say either Selmer or Bundy (which is portion of Selmer) on the case. They are solidly built instruments, and have a good, strong reputation, even though a heap of persons make unflattering comparings to the higher priced clarinets.

But Selmer clarinets keep going and going for as long as they are taken care of. There are Selmers from the 1960s and 70s that are still going strong. A Selmer clarinet probably isn’t the clarinet a professional in a symphony orchestra would choose, but it was not made to be that. It was made for students and just regarding any student that sticks with clarinet from age 12 or so until he or she graduates high school will likely have put that clarinet through galore severe usage, specially if it was employed in a marching band.

College marching band managing directors love Selmers for marching season because they sound good and if they get a little rain on them, they’re not going to hurt. Nobody’s going to take a high-end Buffet clarinet out onto a rainy halftime football field.

And as far as value, these are second to none. You may get a Selmer clarinet today that is in good playing shape for only a couple of hundred dollars. Some persons buy one strictly for marching season and switch to a more modern model for concert season.

Perhaps the “problem” that a heap of humans have with Selmers is that they are known almost wholly as student clarinets, and hearing a beginning clarinet player screech their way through “In a Wigwam” may be a painful experience. But in these cases, the instrument isn’t in truth at fault. It’s just that good technique takes time to develop. It will formulate rapidly, however, for students that are more than willing to put in the exercise time it takes.
