Sounding two octaves lower than a traditional alto clarinet, the contra-alto clarinet is a staple instrument for symphonic bands, wind ensembles and clarinet choirs. Selmer is the most popular name in contra-alto clarinets.
Featuring a unique body design crafted from dense rosewood, the Selmer contra-alto 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.
