The darker the metal is, the more copper present, which is a signifier to an older horn.Ĭopper is expensive and has been limited to trace amounts in modern horns as a cost-saving measure. After some success they were able to branch into multiple horns, as well as professional, intermediate and beginner lines. Henri and Alexandre Selmer began making reeds and mouthpieces and, after moving to New York, began building horns.

I have a Series 9 Clarinet with original purchase documentation my uncle bought it brand new and Ralph's list indicates a manufacturing year of and that matches the year on the paperwork, but the Clarinet list seems 'vague' to me so my example might not be a good test.Bundy saxophones are the beginner line of the great Selmer saxophones. Attachment Attachment Attachment I think it would be interesting if anyone who has a horn with a dated warranty card in it, or a dated receipt with a serial number on it could compare a well documented date to this list and see if it lines up. I also have three lists from the factory in France, at different times, and they are all different in most respects, as to models, dates, etc.

The list of serial numbers I have circulated was compiled by me directly from the card files in the Elkhart office, and are from the actual production cards, which also contained the name of the dealer or individual the instrument was shipped to, date, etc. Here is what Ralph himself said about the compilation of the list: From: Rmorganinfo aol. I think that I would consider the entire Clarinet list to be 'for approximation only'. Also, it looks like the Clarinet list lacks in detail throughout. From what I can see, the Saxophone list 'seems' to lose detail after and I'm not sure that I would take it as 'gospel' from and forward. Ralph's own words indicate a high level of confidence in accuracy. I think it is likely to be the most accurate list of Selmer serial numbers 'unofficially' published. You can make up your own mind regarding what you do or don't believe. I have also included a 'copy-and-paste' of an e-mail he sent to me regarding the list. I have never distributed this list as long as Ralph was alive because I figured that if he wanted to publish it more aggressively, that was his business Now that he is gone, I can see no harm in distributing this. I am sure that I do not have the only copy of this list in existence and I am also sure that I have seen this list duplicated somewhere on the web, but retyped by someone who obviously must have had a copy of this same 'Morgan' list. I have answered questions about serial numbers and approximate years for manufacture for years based on a typewritten serial number list that was once distributed by Ralph Morgan. Year of Manufacture There has been no end to the discussions and arguments about serial numbers and models and years of manufacture of Selmer Saxophones and Clarinets for as long as I have participated on this forum and also the now mostly defunct 'Selmer' forum. of 2 1 2 Last Jump to page: Results 1 to 20 of Thread: Selmer Serial Numbers vs. No wear marks on the keys.What's New?
