RE: Selmer Series 9

I own three clarinets: R13, Centered Tone (1956), and Balanced Tone (1934) and they all play different. I love the Centered Tone with its big bore sound and playing ease. The BT and R13 are very similar in tone and feel, except the BT does play more freely. I believe the bore is between the R13 and Centered Tone. Your Series 9 is probably more like the CT. I like playing the CT more for solo/jazz/have fun type music and the R13 for section work. My wife has claimed the BT and won't let me play it much. Enjoy and don't sweat the small stuff!
