Dear Wayne, I am sorry to try to answer it but, I have a litle expirience in that.
The Selmer's serie 10 and Signature are diferent in concept.
The Serie 10 have the "american" bore similar to the Buffet's R 13. It was desigened by Mr, Giglioti to Selmer several years ago.
The Selmer Signature is a diferent clarinet. Its bore is similar to the Buffet "RC": "french" bore. The tone holes are up for better intonation and it is a product of a entire new research made by Selmer in the last few years.
Both clarinets, serie 10 and Signature, are very good; the choose will depend of your personal felling about them.
Nowadays I am playing with Selmer Signature. They are excelents for me. But, as I told you, the choose is a simple diference of felling.
Before buy one or another, try both; just after that make your choose.

All the best

Fernando

Hi,
It seems you are very experienced in clarinet. Would you please tell me is it
worth to buy a new selmer signature for replacing the series 10 that I am
playing.

Sincerely,

Wayne
