The Centered Tone was Selmer's top-of-the-line clarinet back in the 1950s.
I've HEARD it was the only serious competition (back when) for the Buffet
R-13, or whatever it was called then. It replaced the Balanced Tone and
preceded the models with all the number designations.

Having played both the Selmer and the Buffet, the sound is significantly
different.

self, nourish them, and then channel their energies into another direction,
he redeems himself because redemption means to salvage oneself, and each man
does this whenever he restructures the 'noes' of his life under the
commanding impulse of a new 'yes'."
