The result is a flagship instrument designed to feel like a natural extension of the player's breath — precise, direct, and effortlessly expressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSound \u0026amp; Response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Muse delivers immediate vibration with a woody, luminous, and resonant tone. Its tuning has been carefully optimized with well-calibrated intervals, offering exceptional consistency across all registers and in the transitions between them. New conical bores in the barrel, body, and bell give the instrument a clear, colorful, and warm tonal character, making it equally at home in orchestral, chamber, and solo settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe EVOLUTION System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe boldest innovation in the Muse's design is the introduction of Selmer's EVOLUTION system, which combines grenadilla wood with a resin internal lining in the upper joint to dramatically improve resistance to cracking. This method of integrating a newly designed resin into the wood offers extreme protection against cracking without sacrificing the natural acoustic qualities of the wood, and is backed by a 10-year warranty against upper joint cracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction \u0026amp; Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eEach Muse clarinet is crafted from premium, carefully selected grenadilla that has been aged and seasoned for superior performance, producing a gorgeous dark tone rich in harmonics. The instrument features silver-plated keywork, a combination of leather pads with boosters and Gore-tex pads, blue steel springs, an adjustable thumb rest, and metal tenon and socket connections. A raised C#\/G# tone hole further enhances tuning precision across the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eErgonomics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe redesigned keywork system optimizes the placement and shape of keys to reduce fatigue and promote a more natural hand position, allowing players to focus fully on musical expression rather than technical demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Muse ships with two conical barrels (64mm and 65mm), the new Selmer Echo mouthpiece — the first Selmer Paris clarinet mouthpiece manufactured entirely on a digitally controlled machine for unprecedented consistency — a silver-plated ligature and cap, and the PRiSMe hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAvailable in 18-key and 19-key configurations with the 19-key version adding a low E\/F correction key for improved intonation in the chalumeau register.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e*19 key version by special order only*\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Selmer Paris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48043321753842,"sku":"B16Muse","price":7339.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/1941\/4002\/files\/Selmer-Muse-Bb-Clarinet-nocorrection.jpg?v=1778673206","url":"https:\/\/www.nyc-woodwinds.com\/products\/selmer-paris-muse-bb-clarinet","provider":"New York City Woodwinds, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
