Durable composite body with attractive satin finish
Based on the original designs of George Bundy’s student clarinets, the CL301 features a durable composite body, barrel, and bell with a satin finish, which mimics the look and feel of grenadilla and exhibits a warm, rich tonality on par with wooden instruments. The CL301 will serve developing players well for years; it's resistant to damage caused by temperature fluctuations, humidity, and the occasional drops and dings, and it requires minimal maintenance.
The Selmer legacy of quality and innovation
Conservatory-trained clarinetist Henri Selmer founded Henri Selmer Paris in 1885. Fashioning reeds and mouthpieces in his small workshop, he soon took on instrument repair and modifications, which eventually led to the design and manufacture of clarinets. In 1900, Selmer opened a retail shop in New York (the beginnings of Selmer USA). As a musician himself, Selmer understood that you cannot separate the instrument from the artist, which is why every Selmer instrument is still individually tested and certified by the company’s team of professional musician certificators. Delivering exceptional value at every level, from student to professional, Selmer USA and Henri Selmer Paris offer a full line of woodwind and brass instruments. Sweetwater is proud to bring you Selmer’s rich legacy of quality and innovation.
