Selmer Paris Model 65 Professional Low Eb Bass Clarinet Standard

A bass clarinet that sings.

The Model 65 Professional Low Eb Bass Clarinet from [brand name] is the new standard for orchestral bass clarinets. Replacing the popular Model 35, the 65 produces a robust, focused tone that extends down to the low Eb. Perfect for projecting through string sections and concert bands, this bass clarinet is designed for the serious performer. Silver keys, an articulated G# key and alternate Eb-Ab keys provide responsive playability and tonal flexibility. A lightweight body and balanced response give players comfort and control over the instrument for an unparalleled experience.

Big, Focused Sound Extends to Low Eb

The Model 65’s large bore and tapered tone holes produce a bold, resonant tone from the chalumeau register up to the altissimo. Notes speak clearly and evenly throughout the range of the instrument, allowing performers to navigate large intervals and technical passages with ease. The low Eb key provides access to the instrument’s extended lower range, enabling performers to explore a wider range of repertoire.

Silver Keys and Articulated G# Key Enable Responsive Playability

Silver-plated keys resist tarnish and provide a smooth mechanism for quick, accurate fingering. The articulated G# key facilitates fingering transitions to and from the G# for seamless scale and arpeggio work. These premium keywork features give players precise control and an immediate response from the instrument.

Alternate Eb-Ab Keys Provide Tonal Flexibility

The Model 65 includes a set of alternate Eb and Ab keys that produce a darker, rounder tone in those registers. Players can switch between the primary and alternate keys to find the right sound for a particular piece or passage. This keywork option expands the tonal palette of the instrument, allowing performers to tailor the sound to their artistic needs.

Lightweight Body and Balanced Response For Playing Comfort

A lightweight grenadilla body reduces fatigue over long rehearsals and performances. The Model 65’s bore is tuned to provide an even response and balanced resistance throughout the range of the instrument. Players experience comfort and control as they perform, allowing them to focus on the music rather than the mechanics of the instrument.
