I believe it is model 35 but they don't put the model number on their basses. I suspect it is from the 70s but they didn’t have a listing on the Selmer web page. I play one that I believe is model 31 or 33 number U648. I once asked the Selmer reps at a Selmer display what model mine was but they had no idea. There doesn't seem to be a correlation between the serial numbers. Does anyone know the answer to when it was made and if it is a model 35? Thanks, ESP, www.peabody.jhu.edu/457 Re: Year of Selmer Bass clarinet Author: Date: 2008-05-29 03:09 I searched 'Selmer Clarinet Serial Numbers' on Google, and got a few different lists. U series seems to be from the mid sixties; X is from about 72-73. Re: Year of Selmer Bass clarinet Author: Date: 2008-05-29 03:30 FYI, there is a Selmer serial number list on this site: Best regards, jnk Re: Year of Selmer Bass clarinet Author: Date: 2008-05-29 03:49 I think (but not sure) they started making the the 35 (and 37) model in the 90s, around 1995. If I remember right the models before that were the 31 low Eb and 33 low C (or was the 33 low Eb too?). I think the Series 9 was before that, but I'm not sure, and I'm also not sure when they started making each model (though I think it would say Series 9 if that was it). I'm guessing it is a 33. I think usually a Selmer reps at a display won't know much. For these types of things you need to find the right person to ask. I remember someone wanted to know about an old model from Buffet that looked completely different than any normal bass clarinet, but none of the people on the Yahoo bass clarinet group knew. It was only a French bass clarinetist consultant for Buffet who knew it. Maybe you can find someone simialr for Selmer. Re: Year of Selmer Bass clarinet Author: ★2017 Date: 2008-05-29 12:22 Thanks, that confirms my beliefs. It's a great model. Selmer(USA) Selmer USA information is sketchy at best. Please contribute information. If anyone has any information they wish to share about any item on or not on this page please contact Quick Clik [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Alexandre clarinets (from Alexandre Selmer, Henri Selmer’s brother who returned to france to help in clarinet production) also supported F. Barbier clarinets. Florentin Barbier factory was sold to Selmer paris at one time. Later on it was noted that Barbier instruments may have been SML stencils (identified by the metal lower joint socket) when they were stamped Sponsored by Selmer and made in Paris. Later Barbier production was moved to Elkhart, and resembled the earliest Signets. Selmer USA has manufactured various clarinets under the Signet brand since about 1945 and going back to the early 1920s. Libsvm weka. Selmer USA actually manufactured Signet clarinets before World War II (per customer 2/18/2012). The was quite interesting as it had several pro features (swoopy keywork which allows ease of adjustment). Please see the new pictures below. These have almost always been inferior to the Selmer-Paris models, but during WWII, Paris clarinets were, for obvious reasons, not available here The Selmer USA serial numbers for the forties, in the list that I have, show a gap between 30,000 (10/15/40) and 33,000 (6/1/47) presumably because of the war. Selmer USA began making (or selling) Manhatten metal clarinets and Manhatten wood clarinets in the 1920s and/or 1930s. Selmer USA models are from lowest to highest model: Signet 100, Signet Special and Signet Soloist Selmer Manhatten – Manhatten clarinet sponsored by Selmer This lines of clairnets was primarily a student and intermediate level. There were made during a time when Selmer USA was still headquartered in New York which they then moved to Elkhart, Indiana.
