Re: Apples vs oranges ? ; Buffet Crampon R13 vs Selmer 10G ?

I'm actually curious, in light of the Buffet/Selmer rivalry Bob referred to:

How did the 10G compare in playing and design characteristics to the earlier Series 10 and the earlier models. How sharply did Selmer veer away from the 10G design when they stopped making 10Gs?

To be honest, I haven't shopped for a new clarinet since I bought my 10Gs in 1973 and 1982, so I'm really only familiar with either the older models or the newer ones through what I've read about them. I have tended to think of the 10G as a kind of abberation for Selmer, more in the R-13 lineage (since it was based on Gigliotti's Moennig-R-13s) than a "true" Selmer.

How does the 10G fit into Selmer's evolution?
