Selmer (Paris) Contra Alto Clarinet in STUNNING, MINT, UNPLAYED condition.
Recently overhauled only because the original pads were tired and no longer supple.
This is a rare, factory special order in grenadilla wood! I've NEVER seen another! Don't worry, grenadilla wood IS in the rose wood family.
Grenadilla is a much denser wood with correspondingly bigger sound, and much less likely to crack! I know, because I have owned BOTH! This is the Model 40 that sells discounted for over $23,700 (before CA sales tax).
This instrument was NEVER school owned, never cracked, never dropped and never abused.
Ninety five percent of the contras in circulation were school owned, with cracks, flattened bells, school engravings, bent necks and other abuse.
Most internet listings feature abused instruments like that.
