That's an interesting statement, and I know that Clark (Fobes)
agrees with you. I've just never taken the time to ask him
why it seems to be so. Can you elaboriate? I own a Selmer 37
myself, so I don't have a first-hand frame of reference, un-
fortunately, but part of the decision to buy the 37 over the
Prestige was the propensity for the latter's register mechanism
to come out of adjustment so readily. Further comments?
