Hi- I recently purchased a series 9 as a backup for my r-13. according to one list of serial numbers it was manufactured in 1974, which sounds a little late to me. My particular horn has some auxillary keys which, at this point, get in the way as I am not used to them. Also, I find my right hand is a little cramped. To my unrefined ear, the sound is a little fuller than my r-13, but not so much that it makes an appreciable difference. Perhaps I will notice a greater distinction as I get used to the instrument. The selmer feels physically more substantial than the buffet, and I don't think it's just because of the presence of the auxillary keys.
