Selmer Paris Series 9 Clarinet

Author: Michele8371

I have a Selmer Paris Series 9 clarinet with the serial number R9343. I have been trying to research the year that it was made and cannot find this serial number on any of the lists. The closest I can find in the R Series is R1200 and R6100. Any suggestions?

From the following Selmer serial number list, I found the following:

1/1/58 R1200

1/1/59 R6100

1/1/60 S1150

So, my guess is somewhere in the middle of 1959.

Should be a nice one if it's that early - most likely has some CT parts as there was some overlap in production, but will have the Series 9 joints, bell and barrel.
