I recently acquired a 1970s Selmer 9 series Eb clarinet and need to figure out how much it is worth for insurance. I have called Selmer who told me to use orionbluebook.com, but I've looked and it doesn't cover the 9 series. Does anyone know what the equivalent model today would be, or any other resources I might use to work out the insurance value?
Thanks in advance for your help.

The current equivalent is the Selmer 10SII Eb, not the Recital.
But only the Recital Eb is currently listed on Selmer's site: http://www.selmer.fr/

Thank you Chris P. I've found the 10SII listed on the Howarth's website but nowhere else as yet.

Looks like the standard Selmer Eb has been discontinued (though Howarth probably still have them in stock), it's no longer listed on wwbw.com - only the Recital Eb.
So with that in mind, I'd insure it against the list price of the Selmer Recital Eb (model number 16R), but your insurance company may need a valuation certificate for that which you should be able to get from a woodwind specialist - though they may charge for this as they will probably do an assessment of the clarinet.

Insure the instrument for what it will reasonably cost to replace it --without hunting over the world for an exact (serial number range, condition, intonation, ... foibles). Reduce your grief to ordering a new horn.
