The Selmer Recital A clarinet is ideal for the advanced clarinetist looking for an instrument with a full and dark sound that can handle a variety of styles and professional situations.

A sophisticated bore, made from specially selected and worked ebony, has made possible the genesis of a particular tone; as a noble and living matter, the wood itself gives the "Recital" its warm, rich and round tone, with an exceptional presence (the diameter of the joints is bigger than on a traditional model, by two millimetres). A significant reserve of power and dense tonal material favour a generous playing style.

A very expressive instrument for those who are looking for "a sound". An original design for an acoustic result of rare quality.

Henri Selmer Paris is proud to announce a new generation to their models of clarinets, the Évolution Series. Henri Selmer Paris clarinets are renown for their incredible consistency, tone quality, great intonation, and incredible quality. The Évolution Series brings an element of reliability and stability that has never before been seen in the professional clarinet world.

Due to the features of the material and production process Selmer use on the upper joints, the following advantages are achieved:

• Greater stability in dimensional variation: the bore does not move or change and the reliability of the fit of the barrel onto the upper joint is improved
• Waterproof: no more cracks
• Better thermal conductivity: the instrument heats up and gets to pitch more quickly
• Smoother response on all registers
• Each evolution upper joint is indicated with a small star near the serial number

• Select wooden body: The highest quality grenadilla wood is selected, delicately worked, naturally treated, lacquered and waterproofed for a protection and finish at the top of its class
• Adjustable thumb rest: For a more natural and comfortable hand position
• Silver plated keywork: Long lasting finish and comfortable feel
• Bore diameter: 14.35mm / 0.565 inch
• Two tuning barrels: 64.5 and 62.5 mm for precise tuning
• Pads: White leather pads
• Left hand Eb lever: Useful alternative key for Eb/Ab notes
• Metal capped tenons: For strength and stability

The Selmer Recital clarinet is supplied in a hard double case with an internal space for smaller accessories e.g. corkgrease.  Also included is a Selmer Paris Concept mouthpiece, silver plated cap and ligature, cork grease and pull-through.
