Did selmer refinish fender stratocaster for English customer?
No, Selmer did not. The notion that they did is more likely a myth created by guitar traders and sellers endeavouring to claim some kind of originality for their stock of older instruments. Selmer did not even have a spray booth at that time.

Which is a better Clarinet Selmer Bundy or Selmer CL300?
Both the CL-300 and 301 are very good student instruments. The CL-300 was produced during the 1990s (1990-1999) and has a glossy finish. The CL-301 comes with a satin finish that Selmer refers to as "simulated wood", but both are good quality plastic instruments. The older Selmer/Bundy instruments were, in their heyday, among the most ubiquitous (and less expensive) student instruments that you could buy. They were pretty reliable but were targeted for the beginner(s). Still good to keep around during high school for marching band (outside) drilling and performances, but the CL-300/301 series are, IMO, better quality instruments.
Are selmer aristocrat saxophones junk?
Not junk. They're a good student sax, but vary depending on their age. the Aristocrat line was introduced by Buescher in the 1930's as a professional instrument. By the time Selmer bought Buescher in 1963, designs had advanced and the 'crats were considered intermediate instruments. Selmer continued to use the Buescher tooling for some time but hasn't for some decades. More recent instruments are made in Taiwan, and I don't know whether they have anything in common with the old 'crats, but they are still considered good student saxes.

What year was selmer bundy trumpet serial number 30550 manufactured?
I am trying to find out the same thing for mine. S/N: 25594 I know that Bundy wasn't purchased by Selmer until 1961 according to Selmer Elkhart, IN. Selmer doesn't have any records of their old serial numbers. Adams website doesn't help as it puts the S/N back in 1916 as this is way to old to be correct.
