I concur that it will be a Selmer. The plastic ones are essentially Bundys
with the extra mechanism and funky bell, and the lower joint keys should be
identical to those of a standard Bundy/Selmer USA (both then and NOW) and
no problem to find. But was there not also a WOOD version, based on the
Selmer PARIS clarinet? If you got one of those, it will be a prize, and
still probably not THAT hard to get the keys for.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
