Subj: Re: [kl] Selmer Series 9

I have a Selmer Series 9 that is still a good playing instrument. My parents scraped together $400.00 back in 1966 and bought it for me. At the time, a many people were using this instead of the Buffet and it recommended by my band director who was also a clarinet player. It was my understanding that there was a 9 and a 9-star. I have a 9-star. I am not sure what the difference was, but I was told that the 9-star was a better instrument than the 9. Does anybody know if this is true or not? I think I have seen nones with and without the star, but it has been a long time since I have paid much atttention to it.
