Selmer SBA Alto Saxophone from 1953 Near Mint w/ Bill Singer Overhaul

This is as close to a new Selmer Super Balanced Action alto saxophone as you are going to find. This thing is amazing. it came with all original pads, and then it got a full overhaul done by the great Bill Singer in NYC. Bill needs no introduction, but for you international buyers, he works on David Sanborn’s altos among many other saxophone greats. The original metal Tonex resonators were saved and reused on the new pads. This thing feels just like the excellent original Selmer factory setup, only all new. So it really is as good as going back in time and buying a new SBA.

There are no past repairs, no dents, no dings. No neck damage, bell flare and bow are perfect. The original neck has the matching serial number to the body. The only wear at all is some extremely light scratching on the back of the body tube.

As a player, this alto is extremely good. It has both the warmth and beauty of an early Mark VI, and the power and projection of a later VI alto. Great intonation, great ergonomics, beauty, dark honey original lacquer. Gorgeous original Chesterfield case with case cover. You really can’t beat this alto if you want something that does it all. Already expertly restored completely and ready to go for a long long time. Super Balanced Action Alto saxophones are going up, and this is one of the best in the world.
