New silver-plating process The keywork silver-plating of the Prologue clarinet is obtained through a new technology different from the one used for other Henri SELMER Paris clarinet models. It is specially adapted for student range instruments. A coat of protective product is affixed onto the silver-plating making it more resistant to oxidation and scratches.
