Re: Selmer Series 9 Bass Clarinets. Pro quality?

Great, thanks for the very helpful input!

I should have been clearer on 2 issues:

1. The horn I'm assessing goes down to Eb, rather than to C (which I'm fine with based on my playing needs)

2. I guess I'm asking whether the 1960s vintage Series 9 basses (which I know were "professional quality" at the time of their manufacture) are consistent with newer, professional quality instruments of today.

BTW, I currently play a Series 9* Bb soprano and a Selmer Paris eefer, so I'm positively predisposed to Selmer Paris products. Just checking on the basses since they are definitely their own animal.

Thanks again!
