HII WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME WITH A SERIES 10 SELMER CLARINET SER. X5054. THE CLARINET IS VERY OLD. I THINK 50'S.I BOUGHT IT RECENTLY ON EBAY FOR NOT MUCH MONEY AS IT WAS MISSING A BARREL AND IT APPEARS TO BE MISSING A RING OF SOME SORT AS THERE IS AN INDENT AT THE TOP OF THE TOP JOINT WHERE A RING WOULD FIT. I PUT A RING THERE FROM A PLASTIC BARREL AND IT FITS OKAY BUT DOES NOT LOOK RIGHT AS THE RING HAS THE USUAL THREE LINES ON THE CIRCUMFERENCE FACE. I WOULD THINK A PLAIN RING MIGHT BE RIGHT.I CANNOT FIND A SERIES 10 ANYWHERE TO LOOK AT SO I CAN SEE WHAT GOES IN THAT INDENT. THE SERIES 10'S THAT I HAVE SEEN ON EBAY DONT HAVE ANYTHING THERE JUST THE WOOD OF COURSE..I OVERHAULED THE CLARINET AND USE A BARREL FROM A BUFFET BUT THE CLARINET PLAYS SHARP ON THE G, A, B.C ABOVE THE STAFF BUT IS GREAT EVERYWHER ELSE. I GUESS THE PROPER BARREL HAS A DIFFERENT INSIDE DIAMETER.I KNOW I AM ASKING A LOT BUT THIS CLARINET BLOWS LIKE NO OTHER AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET A BARREL AND THE PROPER RING TO FIT IN THE INDENT.THANKS MILLIONS
