The Selmer Paris Presence is a professional Bb clarinet that represents the latest evolution of French clarinet craftsmanship, designed to offer improved projection and tonal focus compared to its predecessors while retaining the warm, expressive character that defines the French clarinet tradition. The aged grenadilla wood body is hand-selected and seasoned to ensure consistent tonal quality and long-term stability, producing a sound that is dark and warm in the chalumeau register and bright and singing in the clarion and altissimo registers. The bore design is a new development from Selmer's acoustic engineering team, providing enhanced projection and dynamic range without sacrificing the intimacy and warmth that chamber music and solo playing demand. The silver-plated keys are beautifully crafted and fitted with the precision expected from a top Parisian workshop, with an action that is light, fast, and completely reliable. The undercut tone holes and refined pad seating contribute to the instrument's excellent response and tonal purity. The instrument is supplied with a high-quality barrel and a professional case. This clarinet is designed for professional performers, soloists, and serious students who want a French-made instrument with a modern voice. The significant investment and the instrument's sensitivity to reed and mouthpiece selection require an experienced player who can optimize the setup.
