Re: Selmer 55 and N series

I have recently come across information indicating that the 55 was based on the model 17. Can anyone confirm or deny that? The problem of being sure seems to be sketchy records and production during WWII.

Of interest to owners of older Selmers. . . . I contacted Brannens about working on older Selmers. Linda advised that, since Selmer sold to Steinway (Conn-Selmer) the people who know older Selmers (and most older parts) are no longer around and they (Brannens) are no longer able to get parts for them. I'm sure a really good tech could, with time, solve most problems but, if you need replacement parts that you can't make yourself, you will need a donor instrument.
