Description

Very fine and exceptionally beautiful Selmer Super Action alto saxophone from the early 1950s, in very good condition for its age. This rare model is the direct predecessor of the Super Balanced Action and is becoming harder and harder to find – certainly in this condition.

The sax has the original silver finish and the recognisable "Deluxe" export engraving. The instrument is completely straight, free of dents, and shows only light, normal age patina. The mechanism is complete and untouched.
