Re: Selmer 10G vs 9* (star)

I have a very nice 1966 Selmer 9* which was just overhauled by John Butler. It is in such excellent condition, I do not think it was played very much, but likely spent many years stored away a closet somewhere. I really like the way it plays and the way it sounds. However, I have trouble with the throat tones being sharp.

It has a standard 66mm barrel; I have tried playing it with several different mouthpieces and although it plays slightly better in tune with some than with others, it is still very sharp from open G to Bb.

I would really like to find out if there is anything I can do about this because I really love playing this horn!!!!! I guess I need to try out some different barrels....
