Selmer Paris Recital Soprano Clarinet – A & Bb (Évolution)

The Selmer Paris Recital Évolution Soprano Clarinet, available in A (A1610REV) and Bb (B1610REV), is a professional-level instrument designed for musicians seeking a dark, resonant tone with consistent projection and response. Crafted from extra-thick, naturally treated grenadilla wood, the clarinet features a slightly enlarged joint diameter for increased presence. The Évolution bore treatment infuses the upper joint with resin, providing exceptional dimensional stability, moisture resistance, and faster thermal response. Undercut tone holes and a small-bore design give smooth legato and expressive control, while silver-plated keys, blued-steel springs, and white leather pads ensure reliable, professional mechanics. Both models include two barrels, an adjustable thumb rest, a Selmer Focus mouthpiece, and a PrisME case, making the Recital Évolution ready for artistic and professional performance.
