Description
This is a good condition Selmer Super Action 80 Alto Saxophone. This horn is a Series 1, which has a darker, more complex tone than the Series II’s and III’s do. The Series I’s also have great build quality, employing real pivot screws (not spring loaded ones like the more recent Selmers). This horn has some wear in the lacquer from being played, because it plays well. It just got a thorough setup with many new pads. The neck was also freshly fit, and seals well. More than half the pads are new, but many are still older and many adjustment materials are older still. Since this is on consignment, there’s a limit to how much I am allowed to spend on it on the owner’s behalf.
The great thing about these horns is that the dark core tone is ideal for serious saxophone study/lessons/college and also combines well with a brighter jazz mouthpiece to give you a nice jazz tone as well. If I were buying a modern, do-it-all Selmer alto, and I wasn’t going to drop twice this much money on a new Selmer, I would buy a nice Series I like this over the others, hands down. There’s only one of these available. Get this one now before it’s gone!
