You are not alone as I also only own a Bb Selmer Centered Tone
though I bought mine used about 8 years ago. This instrument won
some type of prize in the fifties; I checked out the ad in the
microfilm Downbeat at the library.
BTW if anyone finds and buys an older clarinet that has been
played a lot, treat yourself to a new case and toss the old one. The
mildew in the case can not really be removed and just makes the good
horn stink.
