Goodman is most identified with Selmer. In the 30's he's known to have played a Selmer Paris K series and in the 50's a Selmer Paris Centered Tone. If he's like most musicians, though, he probably had a closet full of instruments.
One could safely assume he had several. Since this instrument was his "bread and butter", if the instrument was unplayable, he would not be able to work - hence having several as backups, or for different playing conditions (indoors, outdoors, inclement weather, etc.).
When he was age 10 (Year 1919).
