Selmer 9*, 10

Heyo
So I had a big fat barrel problem with my two Series 10 Selmers almost 2 weeks ago. Well apparently one of my reeds makes it go sharp instead of flat so I'm gonna pray the rest of my unopened 56 Rue Lepic reeds work on it.

So I in the mood of things, bought a Selmer 9* (17/6) for a reasonable price ($400) considering that it is partially restored.

The Serial Number is a late T

So far based on my 9th grade playing ability (which isn't too bad, all state 6th chair in Michigan :D) The 9 Star seems to be kinda dull and hard to play unlike my U series 17/6 and my X series 20/7.

I have managed to accumulate 3 Vandorens (M13, M30, B45) as well as 3 selmer mouthpieces (2 HS stars and a HS double star) and at the present moment the only mouthpiece that isn't giving me a horrible time is the B45.....

I was really curious to know if any of y'all on the board can tell me your experiences with the 9*. I'm hoping that I can somewhat perfect it before High School All-State auditions at the end of October.

-The Vanguard Case is a pain to open and close ;C
Thanks y'all
