It has been played a little but not much, and is an enormously better deal than buying a new one. These are the best sounding modern Selmers in my opinion, and actually do play similarly to a vintage Selmer, but with more modern ergonomics. Includes the original case as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis horn is better than new because the factory pads have had a fresh setup including replacing several of them for increased playability and better feel and reliability down the road. This horn looks new but saves you thousands of dollars versus buying a new one. And any new one you buy will also need this same setup and will be worth around $4500 as soon as you drive it off the lot. Is it really worth losing $2000-3000+ just to be the one to open the box the first time, versus having something nearly new with a proper setup?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese horns are fun to play, and the lacquer and engraving are really eye-catching. They tune better than a VI, and the keywork is more comfortable too. It's a solid modern saxophone, and definitely a good purchase if you can find one used like this. Highly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GETASAX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41585477484621,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/7931\/2717\/files\/Selmer-Ref-54-Alto-662969-9-of-35.jpg?v=1739438848","url":"https:\/\/getasax.com\/products\/selmer-reference-54-alto-near-mint-great-deal","provider":"GETASAX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
