Re: Mismatched Serial Numbers: Selmer CT Full Boehm

The serial numbers obviously should match, so it's NOT normal at all. But - Selmer frequently replaced cracked upper joints. Those instruments generally have a * above the serial number. Perhaps the previous owner had both instruments at one point and replaced a cracked upper joint with another without the crack.

Have you played this clarinet? I guess the bottom line would be if it plays to your satisfaction. If you're on facebook I recently saw a CT full boehm for sale. You might have a look there. Or just keep an eye out for a CT that has the articulated G#, with matching serial numbers.
