Selmer Super / New Large Bore Tenor Saxophone 13xxx

This horn is in great shape with new pads and a warm vintage Selmer tone. This horn's serial number falls just before the Super Sax was introduced, late in the large bore range. It has a warm spread tone and it is lots of fun to play - lots of resonance in the body tube and the good ergonomics that would set Selmer apart for years to come. This looks like a really old relacquer to me. I don't see any signs of buffing, but the lacquer just looks a little too good overall. I'm guessing that it was relacquered in the 1940's at the Selmer factory and not played much since that time. With a fresh repad, this horn is ready to go for many years to come. It ships in the original case which is still in good condition after all this time. There are not too many of these old birds around, and certainly not in this condition.
