Selmer 10S - Bb Clarinet (A9095)

Product Information

This Selmer Series 10S Bb Clarinet is a golden-era professional instrument from the late 1970s. The model was favoured equally by classical orchestral musicians and jazz clarinetists. With its small bore undercut design (14.60mm—even smaller than the Buffet R13), the 10S delivers a round, centred tone with bright projection and excellent intonation. As a direct competitor to the R13, it established itself as a reliable workhorse trusted by professional musicians across all performance contexts.

This example features an A-series serial number, indicating an early production instrument from the model's genesis. Presented in clean overall condition, it has been comprehensively overhauled through our workshop: fully dismantled, cleaned throughout, keywork polished, and tone holes carefully inspected. Fresh premium white leather pads have been installed, and the entire instrument has been regulated to perfect playing order. Supplied with two barrels and original hard case—complete and ready to work immediately.

The 10S remains highly popular amongst doublers transitioning from saxophone, as well as advancing classical players seeking a professional platform with proven mechanics and consistent response. We recommend this Selmer 10S for clarinetists appreciating authentic vintage design, reliable playability, and the distinctive warm-yet-bright character that defines Selmer Paris craftsmanship.
