Features:

Made in Selmer Paris workshops in Mantes-la-Ville (France), the Prologue has all the positive attributes of a great SELMER Paris clarinet! Its bore offers great sound quality: homogenous and balanced sound in all registers, and its key and tone hole positioning provides excellent pitch accuracy relationships.

In accordance with current pedagogical models that place increasing importance on posture and comfort of play, Henri SELMER Paris has designed new features for the Prologue that facilitate learning and progress in clarinet practice.

The new clarinet is also lighter, with 30 grams less wood! Furthermore, the addition of a ferrule on the upperpart of the barrel makes the barrel/mouthpiece junction more reliable.
