 What was wrong with the Selmer 10G?

About 40 years ago, Selmer-Paris came out with a new model geared to the American.market and designed to compete with the hugely successful Buffet R13. From what I understand, it was a replica of a Buffet that had been tweaked for years by Anthony Gigliotti of the Philadelphia Orchestra and his renowned repair person, Hans Mönig. The 10G never took off, as far as I know, and was discontinued. My impressions of my very limited experience with it: its tone was too bright, probably reflecting. Mr. Gigliotti's taste in sound. Also the throat tones were pretty badly out of tune, my explanation being that the flare in the Monig barrel was slightly overdone. By giving it a darker sound that is more the flavor of the day and improving its intonation, this could become really successful on the the US market, for its a real A-440 clarinet. What are/were your impressions of it? Does anybody out there still play one? Thank you.
