How to sell your saxophone See the tenors in stock1936 Selmer Balanced Action tenor saxophone, s/n 21881. Here's an early Balanced Action tenor, made in the first year of production. The horn recently received an overhaul from the previous owner and the pads are still in new/unused condition. My repairman just serviced the sax, so the pads seal perfectly. The horn feels great and plays well from top to bottom.
This is a great sounding horn. Selmer's attempt to recreate this 1936 Balanced Action with their Reference 36 doesn't do these older horns justice. There is tonal expression that modern horns can't match. Nothing against the Reference 36 which is a great horn, but it's nothing like an early Balanced Action. My advice: save thousands and buy the real thing.
