Re: Selmer Full Boehm Intonation/ Tuning issue

One possibility is that your mouthpiece chamber or bore could be too small. Try finding an older Selmer C85 or HS.

But as you said the more likely issue is that your barrel is not correct for the instrument. I'm not very familiar with old Selmers but I believe the 9 is a large bore instrument while the 10 is a more modern smaller bore.

The good news is that old mouthpieces and barrels are cheap so you could always experiment until you find the right setup. I would start with finding a 66mm Selmer 10 barrel.
