Re: Information on Selmer 10, 10S, 10S II

Best intonation I've come across is Peter Eaton clarinets, followed by the new Buffet Vintage model, which is excellent for less money.
Selmer 10 models are in my experience no better than Buffets, just different. However the throat notes on 10Gs are usually pretty good. You need to adapt your playing to bring down the altissimo a bit, which is easy. I found 10G models to be much better than straight 10s. The best 10 models for my money were the early ones, with no S. I've heard the 10R is pretty good though I've never played it, also known as the Recital model: same family with smallest bore.
