1952 48,xxx Selmer Super Balanced Action Alto Saxophone, 90% Original Lacquer
1952 48,xxx Selmer Super Balanced Action (SBA) alto saxophone. This sax arrived with a new set of white roo pads. My tech just performed a full service on the horn and opened up the key heights back to how an SBA is typically setup. The sax has domed rivetless metal resonators, which is similar to what this sax originally had. This is an outstanding SBA. There's a nice combination of Paul Desmond-esque lyricism, combined with outstanding projection and pep when you push it. This feels like a versatile horn that could excel in many different environments. It comes in a Chesterfield case. Both zippers move freely, but the case is worn out. It's good for shipping, but the new owner will want to upgrade the case. The neck is original to the horn and has a matching serial number.
