Re: 1972 X serial # Selmer bass

I have a Selmer Model 33, Wxxxx bass clarinet that I bought new in 1971. If I recall my catalogue information correctly, the Model 30 had the standard key configuration, down to low E-flat and no left hand Eb/Ab key. I don't remember if it had the articulated c#/G# key.

The Model 32 was also standard range, plus the left hand Eb/Ab and articulated C#/G# key.

The Model 33 was the same as the Model 32, plus range to low C.

I don't know when Selmer stopped designating their bass clarinets as Series 9; mine just says Selmer (Paris).

I had a few friends who bought the Model 33 at around the same time, but in all honesty I must say that in my opinion mine had the best sound and mechanics.
