Re: Selmer CTs vs Series 9 Basses

The low D and low C models don't have the thumb keys linked to the rest of the mechanism on the lower joint, so the low Eb key has to be held down for any notes below low Eb.

The CT-era and earlier Series 9 basses have strengthening ribs on the crook, whereas later Series 9-era ones and the others that followed on don't have that - you can definitely see these older basses were built with more attention to detail. But still expect dry solder joints which is easier to put right on unplated keywork.
