RE: "Table" Selmer mpc.

I just yesterday took delivery of a used Selmer clarinet from New Zealand. The SN puts it in the early '30s, and it comes with a mouthpiece just as Bill described--the exact inscription 'Table HS*" on the table and the Selmer logo on the back just above the tenon. Of course the mouthpiece may not be original to the instrument so i wouldn't propose to date it that way. The mouthpiece--after cleaning it up with a lemon juice soak--plays very easily but with a very edgy, bright sound (or shall i say, "rich in upper partials"), and wants to squeak. I didn't look critically at the surface of the table and don't have the mpc with me now, so i can't say whether it is polished or not.
