{"product_id":"selmer-presence-sib-18-cles-403449","title":"Présence Bb (18 Keys)","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHenri SELMER Paris: A Clarinet Rooted in French Craftsmanship\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned in France at the Mantes-la-Ville workshops, Henri SELMER Paris clarinets bear the mark of meticulous manufacturing, enriched by musicians' experience and artisans' precision. The \u003cstrong\u003ePrésence\u003c\/strong\u003e has established itself as a benchmark in \u003cstrong\u003eprofessional entry-level\u003c\/strong\u003e clarinets for about ten years: an instrument designed to offer a true level of performance and comfort, with a refined sound identity. This new evolution goes further with a rethought bell, widened tenons, and a modernized aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFor Whom and For What: A Versatile Bb Clarinet Ready for the Stage\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Selmer \u003cstrong\u003ePrésence in Bb\u003c\/strong\u003e is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced clarinetists\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as musicians seeking a reliable clarinet for serious practice and frequent playing (wind orchestra, conservatory, chamber music, current projects). Its balance and ease of response also make it suitable for musicians wanting an all-purpose clarinet: classical, pop, ensemble, brass band, contemporary repertoire.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSound and Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body made of \u003cstrong\u003egrenadilla wood\u003c\/strong\u003e (Dalbergia melanoxylon), selected for its high density and stabilized over several years, promotes a rich timbre and good projection while retaining the typical warmth of wooden clarinets. The \u003cstrong\u003epolycylindrical bore\u003c\/strong\u003e (cylindrical part 14.6 mm) aims for a good compromise between intonation, centering, and register homogeneity. The new internal shape of the \u003cstrong\u003ebell\u003c\/strong\u003e (without a flare) and the \u003cstrong\u003e7 mm tenons\u003c\/strong\u003e contribute to a broader resonance and better continuity from low to high registers. In terms of finish, the silver-plated tenons and \u003cstrong\u003ematte black chrome\u003c\/strong\u003e on the lower body give a modern look, complemented by a \u003cstrong\u003e100% natural vegetable varnish\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eDelta\u003c\/strong\u003e symbol engraved on the upper body.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe Integrated EVOLUTION System: Stability, Longevity, Peace of Mind\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEVOLUTION system\u003c\/strong\u003e is based on a next-generation resin lining applied to the upper part of the upper body (bore side). The internal diameter is adapted to incorporate the resin, then the bore is hand-reamed to preserve acoustic integrity. The result: a hermetic envelope limits moisture penetration into the wood and reduces the risk of cracks in the most exposed area, while promoting faster warming and better tuning stability during play.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eRecommended Compatible Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivered with an \u003cstrong\u003eEcho mouthpiece\u003c\/strong\u003e, a \u003cstrong\u003esilver-plated ligature\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a \u003cstrong\u003emouthpiece cap\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Présence is ready to play immediately. To preserve the wood and pads, regular use of the \u003cstrong\u003eprovided maintenance kit\u003c\/strong\u003e (swab, suitable products) is recommended, as well as systematic storage in the included \u003cstrong\u003eshoulder case\u003c\/strong\u003e after each session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
