 Re: Selmer 10G -- Which Are the Good Ones

Great thread. Sorry I missed it the first time around.

I played on 10Gs for a long time (as I studied with Mr. G from 77-79). I had a good set having gone to Elkhart to pick them out. I do not have them any longer but sometimes wish I had kept them.

There is no way that a mass market type of horn can be made at a proper competitive price point if one includes hand finishing and skilled labor. Just not possible.

That's exactly why the guys like Rossi, Chadash, and now some of the German guys, are producing instruments that cost more but have customization.

While Moennig was a genius for his time, he did not integrate his work to consider the whole instrument. He fixed each problem individually, and that is why his work in instruments for individual players (Gigliotti, Marcellus, that generation) worked well but does not translate to mass production.

The Buffets that these guys played were customized and souped up versions of the basic model. They had nothing to do with the off the line type of clarinet we have come to expect for $3000-$5000.

My guess is that there will be more and more clarinet players who will want instruments designed for their playing peculiarities. These clarinets will cost more like $10K (still cheap compared to oboes, bassoons and flutes), and allow for an individual player to have something he/she has total confidence in.
