Selmer Privilège

Selmer clarinet 30-B-N Privilège in Bb

The inspired collaboration between Jéróme Verhaege, principal clarinettist at the Paris Opera, Philippe Berrod, principal clarinettist of the Paris Orchestra and Henri Selmer Paris resulted in the Privilège, a balanced and homogeneous instrument characterized by efficiency and reliability. Without aggressiveness, even in forte, the Privilege develops an exceptional sound quality.

It also sets a new standard in tuning, e.g. the low E and the low F, which always react very sensitively, are perfectly matched. Thanks to a similar bore, both Bb and A clarinets are much closer together and have the same spirit in terms of sonority, fullness of sound and blowing resistance. The instrument develops a very warm sound that fits perfectly into the clarinet repertoire. The padding is made of different materials (cork, Gore-Tex, leather) and ensures precise coverage.

The Privilège Bb clarinet comes with a PRiSme case, C 85 120 mouthpiece, is a symphonic orchestral clarinet with matt black chrome-plated rings, made of first-class grenadilla wood, 442 Hz, tone holes with special undercut, leather and Gore-Tex padding, with Eb lever, 2 pears, with silver-plated keys.

The Privilège clarinets from Selmer are also the first choice of Marco Santilli, the multi-award-winning virtuoso from Ticino. The attached videos and Marco Santilli's musical career provide more details. We look forward to seeing you at Musik Hug in Zurich for an audition.
