The loneliness of the K series Selmer

I did well this Christmas but decided after the tree came down to gift myself with a "K series" Selmer Paris clarinet. K2790 arrived today and joins the team.

But what of the K series Selmer? For it falls into the netherworld of the "official" Selmer Paris serial number chart. A revised serial number chart was created, but that's just one guy's (or girl's) opinion.

It's a nice-looking, heavy clarinet with plated keywork. How unusual. I'm looking forward to playing it (after restoration). I have an early L series, but there seem to be several differences.

Would love to hear from those who play and enjoy these.

Bill.
