Subj: [kl] Bore of Selmer Center Tone clarinet?
Date: Tue, 02 Oct 2007 08:00:12 -0400

I'm trying to help a customer properly match a 65mm length AccuBore
barrel to his vintage Selmer CT. The problem is that he's in
Liverpool, England and I'm in Ogden, Utah.

I once owned a CT myself. I do know it was a cylindrical bore
clarinet and the bore was, by today's standards, quite large. CTs are
often preferred instruments for Dixie Land playing. Does anyone know
with certainty what the bore size of this clarinet is or was
originally intended to be at the top of the upper joint and what the
bore of the stock barrel was. Here again, I believe the barrel was
also cylindrical, but I'm not sure. Any help will be appreciated.

Yours truly,

Richard Bush
