I have a selmer usa wooden clarinet. It says 100 on the top joint. Serial number 289108. Was wondering what year it is. And if its a good clarinet. I bought it last august before doing research on wooden clarinets. I have been now deciding wheather to sell it and get a new clarinet, Id really like a Leblanc Sonata. Would Somebody please tell me what I have thanks!

I do believe you have a wooden selmer clarinet. You blow into the narrow end.

It sounds like a selmer signet 100. can't tell how old it is though.

But it doesnt say Signet on it anywhere.

it doesn't matter. some of the older ones were never marked.

Hmmm. Ok. Ive been deciding which clarinet to buy, I'd like a leblanc, Either a Sonata or an Opus or maybe a Concerto. Or should I go with the Buffet R-13? My selmer is deffently not cutting it for me. I need a better wooden clarinet since im in Wind Ensemble and Symphonic band.

Buffet clarinets are better in my opinion! I have one (well, borrowed one from my cousin) and it plays wonderfully. I never wanna give it up!
