Re: bore shape and tone holes

Clarinet guy -

The Selmer's also took larger pads on some of the key holes. So you are surely correct. For example the Selmers ranged from 9mm's on the register key, to 10mm's on some of the other keys. If I recall correctly the 9* in the lower register used 17mm's and the R13's for sure use 16.5mm pads. It's been too long to remember anything about the 10 series. Some pad companies made or still make 17.5mm pads, were these used on some Selmer's, don't know for sure. Maybe on the Centertone horns?

I only messed with Buffets because these were the main horns that people played on and what Moennig taught me on.
