Overview: This Selmer 10G Bb clarinet, serial number X3189, was manufactured around 1972-1973.
This is one of the finer examples of a Selmer 10G clarinet that I have come across. Known for its rich, warm tone and responsive play, the Selmer 10G was designed in collaboration with Anthony Gigliotti and crafted to rival the Buffet R13.
This particular clarinet has been recently serviced and is in fantastic playing condition.
Features & Condition:

- 14.7mm (approx. 0.578") at the top of the LH joint
- 14.6mm (approx. 0.575") at the exit of the LH joint
- Average overall bore size: 14.65mm (approx. 0.577").
