Selmer Presence 17 Keys Clarinet

The Présence clarinet has the same acoustic qualities as all our models. It is characterized by a rich timbre and ease of emission.

Thanks to its innovative bore, this clarinet delivers unique acoustic qualities and is defined by ease of play and emission, accompanied by exceptional homogeneity.

The sound of the Présence clarinet combines timbre and harmonic richness, essential characteristics which are at the very origin of the instrument's name.

Similarly, our research into the position and shape of the soundholes gives this clarinet an unrivalled scale of intonation. Specially designed keys, as well as new arm and key orientations, provide incomparably precise mechanical response and a sense of comfort.

Présence clarinets are available in Bb and A with a choice of two key finishes: silver or nickel-plated.

The raw ebony wood is selected, delicately worked, naturally treated, varnished and waterproofed for top-quality protection and finish.

This clarinet is fitted with Valentino pads, appreciated by many clarinettists and recommended by experienced repairers for their qualities of plugging, stability and durability.
