Created from a collaboration between Selmer Paris and Jerome Verhaeghe, solo clarinetist at the Paris Opera orchestra, the Privilège is a well balanced and homogeneous instrument which distinguishes itself by its efficiency and reliability. A very quick vibration setting guarantees excellent response and great fluidity. The dynamic range and color tones that it offers match any orchestra in the largest concert halls. Even in forte, the Privilège develops an exceptional quality of sound without aggressiveness. The tuning balance sets a new standard: for instance, the low E and the F, always very delicate, play perfectly in tune. Special undercutting of the toneholes allows the player to get a very precise fundamental, without alteration of the first overtone. Thanks to a similar bore architecture, both Bb and A clarinets clearly stand in the same spirit in terms of sonority, tuning and blowing. Like the Bb, the A clarinet develops low tones of exceptional warmth, in phase with the requirements of the clarinet repertoire. The padding is comprised of cork, Gore-Tex and leather and ensures a precise covering. The low register pads are fitted with boosters, greatly contributing to the tone and resonance of the instrument, reinforcing certain high overtones.
