I'm not certain who said which here. But Nancy, if the part about not liking
Selmers because they are "whiney" was yours, before the whole discussion

talking about Centered-Tone Selmers, or are you generalizing to the newer
models, which are (regardless of individual opinions about them) very
different creatures?
