Suitable for
If you are an advanced clarinetist looking for an instrument with a homogeneous sound that can handle a variety of styles and professional situations, then the Selmer Seles Privilège Bb clarinet is ideal for you.
The Privilège clarinets are exceptionally consistent in tuning, blending easily with other instruments in all acoustic settings including symphony, opera, large ensemble, chamber and in the studio. The perfectly balanced throat tone area (E, F, F#, G) really shines, making the Privilège extremely consistent over the entire range of the instrument. Additionally, most notes do not require corrective fingerings to be tuned, and extra correction keys are not necessary for notes in the low register (E and F).
