Sounding two octaves lower than a traditional bass clarinet, the contra-bass clarinet is a staple instrument for symphonic bands, wind ensembles and clarinet choirs. Selmer is the most popular name in contra-bass clarinets.
Featuring a unique body design crafted from dense rosewood, the Selmer contra-bass packs the expected Selmer low clarinet punch but is more covered and warm.
Other major features include and articulated G#, Eb lever and an automatic octave key.
