As I am quite out of touch with clarinets, I would appreciate advice on the following questions :ġ) What are the differences between the 9 and 10, and is the 10 a higher model ?Ģ) What would be the fair current market price on these clarinets for used pieces in good condition?ģ) How would they compare with current pro models like the Buffet R13, Leblanc LL and Yamaha Customs? Has clarinet technology moved forward a lot, and would clarinets from the 60s or 70s compare favorably with the current models?Ĥ) Any other recommendations for a good pro level clarinet that would not cost more than $1k?Ĭurrently I only have a student level wood clarinet, which works quite well. When I was in school, the Selmer Series 9 and 10s were the legends of the day around here, and I guess the halo effect is still there, because I am now thinking of buying one of these models, for a last blow (while I still can). Naturally, my thoughts now turn to purchasing a good standard clarinet without breaking the bank. Recently I got back to playing my clarinet and found my finger memory still there after several decades of not touching the instrument, quite a pleasant suprise! Been playing clarinet a bit these few days, and find it quite an enjoyable blow too. I used to play clarinet a long time ago (in school) but switched to the sax later on.
