Selmer Super Balanced Action Tenor 1954 Worn Original Lacquer Recent Overhaul Excellent 54611

This is a gorgeous worn original lacquer Selmer Super (Balanced) Action tenor that has good pads and plays great. It was overhauled through GetASax 5 years ago, then well-cared for in the meantime. It just got a fresh COA and is playing wonderfully. The pads are italian leather Pisoni, and the resonators are the nice brass slighty domed metal reusable ones that I like to use on vintage Selmers.

I bought this horn from the family of the original owner back in 2018, and it had almost all its original lacquer intact, but it’s the fragile vintage type that was all sort of peeling off. So when we washed and cleaned this up, almost all the original lacquer came off. It also needed some mechanical work at the time – swedging keys to reverse the friction of lots of playing and a resoldered rib by low Eb post, and the octave lever post also. It’s a great deal and a great player, if you want an SBA that has everything fixed, hasn’t been relacquered, and isn’t super expensive. It also looks cool. Includes the BAM Cabine or a different BAM case if you want to discuss options.
