http://www.therosenbergtrio.com In Feb. 2008, Stochelo tries out this newly-found (by yours truly), all-original 1947 Selmer which had been sleeping for years in the dust, having had only one owner since it left the legendary Mantes Atelier... The guitar's table bears serious cracks, there is no "zero" fret, two other frets are missing around the 12th, and some of the strings must have been more than 20 years old... but... "LISTEN" !

  • What makes it special is the authentic sound. Can you recall the serial number of this Selmer??

  • @TziganoMundo  652 !

  • The only fret I can see missing is the 21st... Selmer bodies only come in at the 14th fret.

  • Yeah, you're right, not missing, but damaged around 10th,12th,13th I don't remember precisely but there's one point in the vid where it sounds "ploinky" because of that for one or two notes.

  • Lucky you...! Not only to have found this beautiful instrument, but also to have Stochelo as a friend...he is one of the best - and a nice guy..!

    Q: did you have this guitar restored (by whom?) And where is it now being played?

    Btw: very wise to have it tuned down half a step ;-)

    Cheers..! 

  • Was there once a Selmer without fretboard inlays?

  • This is so eternally inspiring... I started to learn that incredible style because of this amazing video!!! Thank you very, very much for your great uploads!!!

  • Damn, sounds beautiful.

  • Dang. Superb richness and tone, in a tight and compressed Selmer sort of way... the new Selmer copies do not sound like that.

  • Wonderful play as always by Stochelo, and a great sounding guitar. Wh makes it special is the authentic

  • What a guitar! probably my favorite version of "Listen" as well!

  • ThaT depends of what ur are regarding thin. Stochelo uses a 1.8mm or a 2.2mm pick of Michel Wegen. I doesn't flex.
