Centered Tones are my favourite clarinets. I've owned N, P, Q and R series CTs and while they're all different from one another, they're all great instruments and you can't go wrong with them if they're the type of clarinet you like.
I recently bought a no-name CT from the eBay seller in Portugal as it came with a BT bell which I wanted (and swapped it with a CT bell - see attachment) and I want to restore and turn it into a loaner instrument when someone needs a decent clarinet to use while I'm working on theirs.
The distinguishing feature with CT and Series 9 clarinets is the large hexagonal speaker bush, so you can identify them by that (along with the serial number letter prefix) if they don't have 'Centered Tone' or 'Series 9/Series 9*' stamped on the top joint.
