Re: Selmer Series 9 Basses

I've played a couple of them. They are very good in general and feel somewhat "outdated" which often isn't an issue. Sound is excellent, although I prefer the current ones a little better (most subjective difference). Intonation is decent but better on most current models. Same for ergonomics. Mechanical design is significantly better on the current model and also some older models (compared with Series 9). Especially dealing with springiness of linkages and long hinges (not that the Privilege is perfect). There are also some evenness issues that are improved now. Still a good bass clarinet.
