Re: Trying to find out info about my Selmer Clarinet

You can also tell if it's had the top joint officially replaced by Selmer themselves or by a Selmer agent if it has * stamped above the serial number, or ** if it's had two replacement top joints.

That won't detract from the value unlike metal flush bands or other methods of crack repair that don't look well cosmetically or failed since having been done.

Some that had replacement top joints may also have a date stamped into the surface of the wood directly under the LH2 ring key rod dating when the transplant was done.
