Used Selmer 1430P BASS CLARINET Resonite Bass Clarinet

Selmer’s 1430P Bass Clarinet brings that unmistakable low-register woodwind depth to the stage, rehearsal hall, or studio without the boutique price tag. Built with Selmer’s long-standing commitment to reliable student and intermediate instruments, the 1430P delivers a rich, resonant tone in the lower register and a surprisingly focused, stable response up top. The keywork is designed for comfortable hand positioning, making the stretch and reach of a bass clarinet feel manageable and musical.

Players gravitate toward the 1430P for its dependable intonation and solid projection, especially in concert band and clarinet choir settings where the bass clarinet anchors the entire section. Selmer instruments have long been trusted in school programs and community ensembles for their consistency and durability, and the 1430P continues that tradition with a warm, centered sound that blends beautifully while still holding its own in exposed passages. It’s a fantastic step into the world of low woodwinds for advancing players or a dependable backup for seasoned clarinetists.
