Selmer Paris Privilege Clarinet
2nd Generation Model with Evolution Bore
The Selmer Privilege clarinet is one of the most amazing instruments ever made. It features the highest level of workmanship & materials with a design that provides excellent response, intonation and tone. Made 100% in France, the Privilege clarinet is the epitome of Selmer clarinet perfection.
Evolution★ System Bore
One of the biggest fears for clarinet players is getting a crack in the instrument. Cracks can often be prevented with diligent care and maintenance, but sometimes they just happen regardless. While cracks can be repaired, it requires a true expert caliber technician to do it well, without permanently changing the performance of the instrument. So Selmer has integrated their “Evolution★” bore system to the 2nd Generation Privilege clarinet’s upper joint – which is where the majority of cracks occur. In this system, before the toneholes and bore are cut, Selmer injects a special resin into the upper half of the clarinet’s top joint, right about to the point just past the thumb tube. The joint is then manufactured and toneholes cut. This allows this system to be seamless as it is not an “insert” but truly part of the bore.
This bore protection allows Selmer to extend a 10 year warranty on the upper joint against cracks. This helps bring true peace of mind to the investment of your professional clarinet. You can read more about the Evolution System on Selmer’s website by clicking here (opens in a new window).
