![]() ![]() ![]() "visually" people don't like to see damage such as the wood issues, and somewhat bad repair and addition of that keyguard. Looking at the emblem it's the "newer" emblem which is 1931ish and newer (from the oval to the wreath) I don't track Bass Clarinet serial numbers, but with a low serial number anyways I would guess that it's pretty old. See the various catalogs on this page => Selmer was making bass Clarinet at least since 1910 Probably different prices in other countries. OTOH you might have to wait a very long time until someone is interested at all. I don't know if my local prices are relevant to you and they are pretty high (also difficult to sell here) but it would probably be a minimum of about $1,600 here and after a good overhaul possibly close to $3,000. So depending on condition, prices in your area and when it is from, a rough estimate is probably $800 to $2,000. I think that changed, but not sure if they had such low numbers then. I'm not about the serial number or when Selmer started making bass clarinets, but I think I remember bass clarinets from the 50s already with a letter before the number. What's even more important is the mechanical condition and how it plays. The damage to the key guard doesn't look that bad, at least from the photo it's only possible to see some cosmetic damage which doesn't mean much. ![]()
