Selmer Series 9

Author: b_rogers

Hello all,

I am seeking some information on the Selmer Series 9 (not the 9*). Specifically, I am curious about how the different series serial numbers (that is, the letter prefixes) compare. For example, are the early Series 9 from the 60s considered better than the 70s? I have found some information that suggests that the later Series 9 had slightly different keywork (similar to the Series 10?) compared to the earlier manufactured specimens. I haven't found anything about a preference for one vintage over the other. This sort of thinking about Selmers is rampant in saxophone community, of course, but I wasn't sure about clarinets.

Any thoughts on which, if any, vintage of Series 9 is best? Is there a serial number range to avoid?

Thanks!
