Selmer Series II Soprano Saxophone, Near Mint, Just Serviced
Selmer Series II soprano saxophone, s/n 503979. This is Selmer's top of the line professional saxophone. The sax was just serviced prior to sale, the pads are sealing well, and the horn speaks effortlessly from top to bottom. The pads are in excellent condition with a lot of life left. The bell flare looks perfect and has never been bent. This sax looks like it's barely been used in its lifetime. There are zero dents, and the lacquer is almost flawless. The case is in great condition. However the right latch is missing and has been replaced by a thin wire that can hold the case closed.
The most notable difference between the Series III and II is the fact that this sax is constructed without a removable neck. This is a significant sonic upgrade in my opinion. There is a directness to the sound and response that I don't think is possible with the Series III. This is an incredible sax that captures the intensity and tonal characteristics of a Mark VI soprano, but with modern ergonomics and a neck strap ring that are lacking on the earlier model.
