Re: Selmer Signet Special vs. Vintage Bundy

I believe that Mr. Ocone is correct: The wooden Signet Special is essentially a rebadged wooden Bundy. So, you'd be buying the same clarinet you already have, but with body joints constructed of wood.

Note that some Signet Specials are equipped with plastic barrels and/or plastic bells.

The wooden Signet 100 shares its acoustic design with the Bundy 577, but Bundy did not offer a wooden version.

In my opinion, the 100 is the one to get. It's more even between the registers and offers generally better intonation. That said, you would find the Special to be a comfortable and familiar wooden companion to your Bundy 1400.

Signets other than the Soloist tend to sell for very low prices. If there's any condition issues with the one you're considering, just pass it up and wait for a better one to come along.
