Bb/A Muse

The new Selmer Muse is a fantastic synergy of Henri Selmer Paris's best attributes: solid keywork, beautiful balanced sound, intonation, precision and a response that leaves you feeling like you can play all colors and styles with ease!

With the Muse clarinets we have designed instruments with tone that have both clarity and depth at the same time. A feeling of flexibility enables you to tackle all the repertoires with ease and to naturally master the intonation, no matter what the nuances.

With the Muse, I feel that I have an infinite color palette and that even the slightest musical intention is immediately audible.

The Muse takes away many of the inherent technical challenges of playing the clarinet. With this new-found freedom, I am able to strive for deeper artistic expression. I finally have an instrument that allows me to reach my full potential.

The Muse clarinets are surprisingly easy to use, with a sound that remains centred on the entire length of the instrument. The left-hand notes are naturally rounded and colorful, making it extremely easy to move between registers.

I love the very soft, lively sound, I would even say that the Muse clarinets are “charming”. All the registers are very consistent and ergonomic, very comfortable, allowing me to play extremely technical passages with great confidence.

The Muse clarinet is a real revolution in the world of modern clarinets. It offers clarity in tone, ease of use, great precision and, most importantly, a sound that has soul, that speaks to you.

In an orchestra, its great stability of precision along with this richness of sound, toned, ample and rounded, give Muse its “chameleon” character, which is vital for blending with different harmonious instruments.

I chose the Muse for its sound quality and tuning. Its sound warmth and timbre allow me some extraordinary legatos. Its homogeneity and projection is impressive. I can play with ease in any type of ensemble.
