Chris: Thanks for starting this thread. It's nice to know there are actually a number of people out there who share my point of view. In our community band there are a couple of us who stick by Selmers, but we are surrounded by Buffets. I have a collection of old Selmers of which there is only one I did not overhaul as soon as I got it. Currently, my oldest Selmer Paris is a Model 55. The newest instrument I own is a Series 10. However, by far my favorite is a Series 9 which I picked up as NOS for next to nothing from a music store that was going out of business when the recession hit in 2008. I played it for a little while before I overhauled it to replace the gummy oil and used Roo and cork pads for a repad. I added a Portnoy BP02 mouthpiece to go with the large bore and absolutely love it. I carry a CT for backup. While I have never had to go to it myself, I have loaned the CT out several times to people whose Buffets quit on them (most likely lack of adequate maintenance). I carry an extra, short barrel so that people accustomed to Buffets can play the CT in tune with their own mouthpieces. I recently finished an overhaul of a Bundy Paris (late 1920s) for a friend. I was rather surprised to find that it plays like a Selmer (as I expected), but sounds a lot like a modern Buffet.
