 RE: Old Selmer ergonomics

Can anyone tell me if the older K and pre-K series H. Selmers (oval emblem) had the same or similar bore and tone hole sizes and key ergonomics as the later CTs and Series 9s? I have a CT and a Series 9 full Boehm that I can't play because the ergonomics just don't fit my small hands. (I mostly play older Leblancs.) I'm wondering if I would run into the same issue with the much older Selmer models.

Older Selmers do have similar keywork ergonomics to BT, CT and Series 9/9* clarinets.

I have a old k series and its easy to get around on. i actually prefer it to my balanced tone model. i also had a older full bohem once and it also didnt fit my hands . i quickly sold it. my k selmer is extended bohem . its no problem to play at all.

I play a L series (RI-like without the RI stamp), very comfortable, Selmer keywork.

Are the tone holes on the K series as large as the others ( RI, BT, CT) ?
