The early Signet Specials had a guide for the top trill key which was gone in 1955 but reappeared in 1960. The early Signet Specials has the insignia on the barrel as well as on the other pieces. I would guess this is from the Barbier or the other factory. Im guessing the Bundys were from the Barbier or other plant and not the authentic Selmer factory. So production of Bundy clarinets would have started before their supply was cut off (or after the war ). With World War II cutting off the import of Selmer Paris instruments George Bundy started the line of of Bundy student instruments then added the Signet intermediate line.īut some of the first Bundy wood clarinets were apparently Selmer Paris factory owned instruments in disguise.

These have almost always been inferior to the Selmer-Paris models, but during WWII, Paris clarinets were, for obvious reasons, not available here. The pre WWII Signet was quite interesting as it had several pro features (swoopy keywork which allows ease of adjustment). Selmer USA actually manufactured Signet clarinets before World War II (per customer 2182012). Later Barbier production was moved to Elkhart, and resembled the earliest Signets. Later on it was noted that Barbier instruments may have been SML stencils (identified by the metal lower joint socket) when they were stamped Sponsored by Selmer and made in Paris.
