Selmer Series 10

Despite some searching here on the board, my goal to learn more about this instrument hasn't yet been realized.

I came across a refurbished one the other day. Wow! It practically plays itself it's such an easy horn to work with.

It feels somewhat like an R13, only studier, and I'm to understand that to be no surprise as Selmer released the instrument in 1970, from what I read, as an R13 competitor.

I've also read that the sound may be a little brighter than an R13, which I find, as a "researcher of one instrument, not the entire series" to be true. In nonetheless has a beautiful sound.

And the intonation: spot one...which I find amazing given that the clarinet itself as a exercise in compromises in pitch.

I also understand that some series 10 instruments have a letter after them.

So, if anyone has the tribal knowledge of this clarinet series, or links to internet pieces that discuss it, I would be most appreciative.

Thanks.
