Hello everybody, first appologize my english,

I recently got a Selmer C clarinet. This one was bought from a NOS. According to selmer paris office, it was handcraft in 1982 so i figure it's a 10s. There where only few C selmer made and the model is not stamped, there is only selmer paris made in france and the serials.

I had a leblanc spirit before this one. The leblanc was quite fair and play in tune until the hight clairon C. Altissimo register is more hard to play in tune.

The selmer has a better sound, betwin a bb sound and the spirit with a dark low register and nice altissimo register. I really prefer the selmer sound to the spirit's one.

I play both with my morgan rm 15 mouthpiece but...

The selmer is quite out of tune.

The low e and f and f# are too flat. then from the g to the bb, it's quite fair to hight. Then the b is definitly too flat, the c and c# a bit less but still too flats. Then from the clairon d to g it's cool but the clairon's left and is too flat, specialy the c. The altissimo, is incredibly well in tune.

I just got this clarinet and i'm already getting used and correcting with my embouchure but the fact is my selmer 10s is not as well in tune than my student spirit.

The selmer was reppaded recently and the left hands pads generaly seems too fat to me. May this can be a reason to the tone problems ?

I tried with my m30 mouthpiece and a selmer c* but it doesn't change the tones troubles.

Do you have any suggestions to this case? May be a different barrel ?
Thanks for sharing you c clarinet experience !
