Selmer Balanced Action 次中音薩克斯風 23,xxx，已大修，附影片

1937 Selmer Balanced Action tenor saxophone, s/n 23984. This sax just received a full mechanical overhaul from Mike Livingston, who does excellent overhaul work. He used Music Medic pads and domed rivetless resonators, which are similar in form to what this horn originally came with. Take a close look at the left hand thumb rest. Mike affixed a smooth piece of cork here, which looks great and is very comfortable to the touch. The sax doesn't have its original coat of lacquer, which is quite typical of horns of this vintage. The sax comes in a Bam Cabine case. 

I really like how this sax plays. It has a huge, dark sound that is sweeter and more colorful than American horns of this vintage. It's unmistakably Selmer in tone and feel, but there's some extra lushness that this vintage provides. I think this is a great sounding horn which will give its next owner years of low maintenance enjoyment.
