Re: Let's discuss Selmer clarinets

That's exactly the problem I'm having. I think about selling it because of the limited use I can put it to. I have to work hard to keep the thumb sealed to keep it from squeaking (tone hole size & spread). But when I succeed it's just wonderful. I used it once for a very melodious low, slow-moving part in a work our community band was performing and it sounded incredible. Nothing else in my stable of clarinets (and none of the R-13s in the group) could touch that mellow, smooth sound. I think about selling it, but then I pick it up and blow a ballad and realize that if I do I will always miss that sound.

BTW, I live in New Orleans, and we have lots of really, really fine have jazz clarinetists all over the place. (I'm not one of them sad to say). The clarinetist who inspired me to start playing again after way too many years was playing a CT when I first heard him. He's playing a 10G now and it just doesn't sound as nice - another reason I hesitate to let the Series 9 go.
