Re: Selmer Bass question

Hank, my series 9 is R967, one letter and 3 digits. It lacks the LH Ab/Eb lever, and the articulated C#/G#, making it a Model 30 per Chris P (thanks, Chris!).

Low e and Eb are significantly flat on mine, and the 3rd-space C sharp sounds sharp enough that I need to vent it with the RH low E key to bring it down to pitch, which muffles it a bit.

Otherwise the horn's a blast. One time I was at Jimmy Yan's shop right after Jim Ognibene (Metropolitan Opera bassist) was leaving with his repaired horn. Jimmy saw that I had a Series 9, and lifted the top section out of the case, gave me a big smile, and said emphatically "Nice instrument!" Clearly he was talking about the horn, but he was also telling me, 'You have something special here."
