Subj: Re: [kl] "Deluxe" clarinet

Selmer put out Bundy's, some of which had "Deluxe" stamped above the Bundy
decal. There is a very good chance that this is what it is. After time, the
decal wears off, leaving only the stamping that penetrated the surface of the
plastic. Find another Bundy and compare the style of the keywork. Right off the
top of my head, the crow foot plate that extends under the right hand F#/C# key
and the right hand E/B key is oval in shape. The key cups will also probably be
flat on top, rather than being pointed.

The Deluxe usually meant a better case, mouthpiece and ligature, and maybe even
a ring at the bottom of the bell.
