Description

Created to celebrate the 140th anniversary of Henri SELMER Paris, the Bb Muse Clarinet “2025 Edition” is a masterpiece in limited series, with only 85 units available. Featuring 18 keys, it retains the acoustic quality, mechanics, and ergonomics of the standard Bb Muse Clarinet while standing out with a bold, unique, and creative design.

This anniversary edition explores a spectrum of elegant blacks: the grenadilla wood body and matte black chrome keywork harmonize beautifully, highlighting an original engraving inspired by musical notation. This artistic and modern pattern extends from the barrel to the bell, evoking musical calligraphy. The iconic “S” of “SELMER,” carved in grenadilla wood and accentuated with a nickel silver inlay adds a refined touch.

Edition number: Each clarinet bears its limited edition number above the thumb rest.

About the Muse:

Launched in 2022, the Muse is Selmer’s latest clarinet and sits at the top of their range.

Muse clarinets have been designed for clarinettists seeking a precise and direct response. They offer great ease of playing, immediate vibration, and a colourful and warm tone.

The Muse provides great homogeneity and ease throughout the registers, allowing the player to seamlessly move between larger intervals while maintaining accurate intonation.

The EVOLUTION★ system has been integrated to the Muse clarinet which involves applying a new generation resin to coat the interior of the upper joint. This innovation helps to stabilise the wood and provide better longevity to the instrument, all while preserving the acoustic qualities of the traditional wooden clarinet.

The Muse’s keywork was designed with ergonomic comfort in mind that is similar to the Privilège and Présence, allowing for quick adaptation to the instrument.

It is supplied with an Echo mouthpiece; suitable for all clarinettists, lending immediate response and consistency with a round and colourful sound.
