Re: Selmer Series 9

Series 9 clarinets usually have the letter prefix from S (early '60s) through to A (late '70s) and the letter prefix changes once the serial number goes above 9999. It would be good if each and every year was marked with a specific letter prefix, but it doesn't work like that. There was some overlap in production early on between the CT and Series 9 and also the Series 9 and Series 10.

Just like other Selmers, some Series 9 clarinets weren't stamped as such, so you'd have to look at the specific features and compare them against a CT or a Series 10 to determine what it is.
