from my notes and information ...
The original SE model has a similar bore to the Buffet RC.
Minimal resistance was designed through the use of larger toneholes, larger tonehole overcut and undercut.
The upper joint taper is also longer than the Buffet RC model.
Due to the larger bore the production and volume of sound is more easily
achieved. I prefer my RC Prestige (used it to replace my Selmer Centered Tones) over my R13s due to the more easily obtained dynamics. YMMV of course.
The SEV offered wider tone holes, tapers and undercuts for a warmer, rounder tone with rich overtones. The Bell taper was modified to be more open to provide a more round, full sound. Also a new bridge key design over the SE. Pads were a Lucien deluxe double skin.
The SEVR retained the traditional wide tone holes, tapers, and undercuts of the SE Series, the catalog states the SEVR Custom Clarinet offers rich tone and even greater freedom of expression. It not only blends beautifully in ensembles, but is a standout choice for solos as well.
The SEVR is just an evolution of the SE/SEV. I'm not sure what changes but I assume some new techniques and intonation improvements, etc. I do know the SEVR uses leather pads (from documentation that I've read)
There also was/is an SE-Artist model which has its tone holes designed from the development of the CSGIII.
I believe during the SE evolution they added the tone scallop chamber in the bell (like the RC) and also a raised C/G tonehole (in at least the Artist model).
What clarinets did your daughter try ?
