I am a bit confused about the Selmer Signet 100, even though I have read some of the previous postings. Is it a student level instrument or an intermediate level one? Also, how much would you expect to pay for a good condition used instrument?

Wayne-

I purchased a used Signet Special in 1976. The same store had a new Signet 100 for a little more money. There was no comparison. The Special had metal rings around the ends of the wood, and the 100 had none. That particular 100 had one joint that WOULD NOT go together! It wasn't just tight cork, the wood interfered. Quality was obviously better in the Special.

You can't judge them all by one example. Before you buy, check to see if there are any obvious problems. Try it with a tuner to be sure of the intonation.

I would guess that a good price for a good used Signet 100, would be around $200-$250. If you find one at a pawn shop, don't pay more than half that, since they can't offer the same kind of guarantee or service as a music store.
