Bass Clarinet Selmer Privilege to low C

The Selmer Paris Privilege 25P Bass Clarinet to Low C marks a decisive step forward in the development of the instrument while keeping the basic design which made the previous model so successful.

The Selmer Paris Privilege 25P Bass Clarinet to Low C combines strikingly easy blowing and a round, warm sound that has gained in homogeneity and power. Its versatility also enables real work on the sound imprint.

This favourite of the orchestral players also features immediate response, extreme dynamic control and an extensive colour palette. The keywork has been extensively re-worked to ensure comfort and security while the tuning is balanced over all registers.

Tuning is very much improved and balanced over all registers.

The overall ergonomics of the Selmer Paris Privilege 25P Bass Clarinet to Low C have evolved: easier keywork feels better under the fingers and allows a more natural and comfortable playing position. Its great responsiveness provides swiftness close to the B-flat and opens up a feeling of freedom.

Numerous technical improvements equally enhance the functioning of the instrument.

For about 20 years, the bass clarinet has enjoyed a boom thanks to a broadened repertoire. A major player in this dynamic, Selmer Paris has accompanied this evolution by bringing constant improvements to a range widely praised for its acoustic qualities.
