Re: Benny Goodman Selmer Series 9 for sale

Having read some of the cheap skate antics of Mr. Goodman, here on this board, I can't imagine any instrument he once played being worth much more than a similar one that he didn't. On this board I've read that he owned many instruments and mouthpieces and in fact would play on anything that was offered to him for free. He even would deprive unsuspecting folks of their reeds if he got his hands on them. The Benny Goodman sound was based on talent and not so much equipment. That said, I wish I owned one of his Selmer 9's too, but I'd feel stupid for paying a big premium like $20,000 for one.
