Regarding the Series 9 Selmers...

My b-flat is a Series 9 and I love it. It always had some issues with intonation in the lower register but the flexibility of the horn was a good match for me. I need a horn I can play chamber music and orchestral stuff with, but I also play small combo jazz. Lo and Behold, a "new to me" but very old Selmer barrel, gifted to me by my repair guy, improved those issues bigtime. Now, I wouldn't trade that horn for anything...

...except maybe.... A Series 9*.

My A clarinet is a 9* and I love this horn. I got it for cheap on ebay and my tech went over it to the tune of lots of $$ but totally worth it. However, I'm the first one to admit that getting a winner like this is pure, raw luck. I got lucky.
