Full Sweet Woody Tone up and down the register. The 1951 "N" Series Selmer Centered Tone
clarinets are the most sought after of ALL the Centered Tones because the 'N' series has the TRUE FULL BORE. The GRAIN on this instrument is so tight its barely visible...premium aged Grenadilla. Excellent for Big Band or small combo/dixieland work. Pair this instrument with a Vandoren 5JB or 7JB to bring out the best in this outstanding instrument. Outplays even "golden era" R-13s IMHO...I know...I played both in my 50 year career. Comes with very good original case. NO REPAIRS CRACKS OR TENON CHIPS or any other form of damage. please check feedback
