Used Noblet Paris Wood Clarinet

Known for its warm-centered sound and produced as an intermediate instrument, the Noblet Clarinet is a classic wood enhancement for any school orchestra. Professionals usually choose a variety that needs less tweaking and is enabled for fast fingering but the quality of the Noblet Clarinet garners fans who lean towards older models and what can be termed as the "flying on a cloud" sound.

Replaced by the Buffet or a professional LeBlanc, this pure instrument is built almost exactly as any other clarinet. Rather than the new age plastic or metal veneers, beautiful keys are accompanied by a solid wood shaft. The keys are either the traditional silver or nickel-plated, in the case of the Noblet 45 Clarinet and D Noblet Clarinet, and only need a soft cloth to shine. Playing in the standard B flat key and providing flexibility is often an enhancement that intermediate players depend on with this choice in instrument.

The clarinet, a transposing member of the orchestra, (one that plays at a different pitch than seen on the score) is an adaptation in design of the Chalumeau. The Chalumeau, like the Noblet, provides a clear soprano sound and versatility within the accompanying instruments’ melodies. Unlike the ancient Baroque style instrument, the Noblet Clarinet allows for the full use of the Boehm key work.
