An elaborate duct, but also its material : a very worked and selected grenadille wood allowed the birth of a specific sound. It is the wood, noble and lively material and its volume that gives the "Recital" this warm tone, rich and round and this different presence. This clarinet is very vivid, it will attract those who seek 'a sound'. |

This is a wonderful instrument. The intonation is great, with the dark sound as advertised. The beautiful wood is VERY well worked, and the key work is absolutely stunning. The clarinet in itself shows excellent craftsmanship. I have found the tone of the Recital to be incomparable to the Buffet R13. Not only does the Recital have a darker tone, but the build quality is definitely something special. The wood is much thicker to that of any other clarinet I have played, thus giving a "fat" and warm sound. When in rehearsals, the conductor would repeatedly need to tell me to quiet down because it has such amazing and brilliant sound projection! I also found the instrument to be very easy blowing (note: I am playing on an A. Giggliotti P facing mouthpiece) and even the highest of notes were a piece of cake to reach. The clarinet also seems to never be sharp or flat, but even if it is, the longer and shorter barrels will fix that easily, though some could argue that this is a result of the player not the instrument. The key work, as stated above, is stunning. It isn't even the actual keys either, although they are quite nice. The way the response and "handling" so to speak is superb and simply the best I have ever had the pleasure of encountering, whether the instrument is, Buffet, LeBlanc, or other. The French blue steel springs really do the trick. So anyway, I could ramble about this instrument for a very long time, but in short, if you are a Selmer aficionado or not, this is in my opinion simply the best choice.
