The Selmer 10S is a pro level upgrade wooden clarinet. Originally the 10S accompanied the 10G at the top of the Selmer clarinet model range in the 1980's and 90's. The 10S was a small-medium French style bore design (as opposed to the 'Americanised' 10G version), this gives it a lively, centred sound.
This particular example is in good overall condition, there are some some small signs of use and surface scratching on the silver plating but nothing untoward. The wood also shows a few surface marks on the bell, but again nothing to worry about. We have fully serviced the instrument and the wood, pads, corks, springs etc are all in excellent order.
This clarinet would be ideal for an advancing clarinet player looking for a high quality Bb without breaking the bank. Compared to the new models at this price the 10S will have much more projection and flexibility of tone. It would also be a great 'doublers' instrument for any Woodwind player/teacher wanting a decent wooden Bb.
