RE: BY HENRI HIMSELF (e-Bay)

The 7 ring model clarinet is less desireable to me as I like the feel of the bare wood and find it difficult to adjust the 7th ring mechanism.

In about the early 60s, I bought a fine Selmer alto sax with extra engraving that had allegedly been brought and promoted to Lockie's store in Los Angeles by Henri Selmer, himself. It was a 33,000 series with perfect laquer, a wonderful feel, and a bell that was slightly turned from the MK VIs. It had a very unfocussed sound and no matter what was done to it, it sounded very dull. I was glad to get rid of it. 30 years later, I ran into the buyer and heard the horn again. It still sounds dull!
