I just ran into a clarinet that appears to have this nomenclature. I had a 10G back in the day, I had a friend that had a 10S, but this is the first B I've seen.
When was it produced, for whom (10G was a Gigliotti)?
I tested this horn - sounds great.

My first pro horn was a Selmer Series 10 B, made in 1967. It was a great horn and I recently sold it to a jazzer fellow who was looking for a Series 9 but ended up preferring the 10 B.

Thanks, WOW, great information!
I thought the 10 series started with the "G" in the 70s.
This is a great playing horn in great shape for only $1000.
I wonder if I could sneak it into the house without my wife knowing about it?

Perhaps if you explained how it will earn its cost back quickly from additional gigs...

If memory serves I think I was told that the 10B was the initial Series 10
that Selmer produced. At the time both the Series 9 (not sure about the
9*) and the 10 were made simultaneously for several years.
Cheers.

So I can assume that the 10B was Selmer's first NON-conical bore clarinet?

The fellow to ask would be Steve Sklar at: clarinetperfection.com
He's very knowledgeable about vintage '60s and '70s clarinets and
he maintains a good list of serial numbers for Selmer, Buffet, Leblanc etc.
