The Selmer Series 9 and Series 9* were introduced together around 1960, replacing the Centered Tone model.
The Series 9 had the same rather large bore as the Centered Tone and was intended to be its direct successor. I remember it as playing very much like the Centered Tone.
The Series 9* had a smaller bore and, I think, undercut toneholes and was intended to compete with the Buffet R-13. I remember it as playing somewhat like the R-13, but with a tone closer to the Selmer "house sound" than the Buffet -- that is, brighter and more homogeneous, but less centered and colorful.
Best regards.
