This is a lovingly restored vintage French-made Selmer Series 9 professional Bb wood clarinet, serial number R8618. We estimate that it was made in 1959. A great modern professional clarinet well-suited for all band and orchestral playing. No cracks. The mechanism is tight. Nickel-plated keys. It has been completely overhauled with new double-skin pads and corks. Has had a chip professionally repaired in the bell tenon. In a good case with the Selmer HS** hard rubber mouthpiece. Many consider the Series 9 to be among the best clarinets ever made by Selmer, and the quality of wood found in this instrument is unlikely to be found in newer ones. It is a good investment at $995 plus shipping. Please see the photographs.

Please note:
As professional repair technicians, our labor to completely overhaul a clarinet is approximately $250-$300. When you purchase one of our clarinets, it has been professionally overhauled with the mechanism tightened, new double skin pads, and new corks. While you can purchase as-is instruments for less, it is likely that you will have to invest in an overhaul either before you play them or shortly thereafter. We don’t cut corners with cheaper supplies or patchwork. When you compare our quality, you will understand why we don’t accept lower “make offers” on our instruments.
