SML Gold Medal 1 Tenor Saxophone 17xxx Gorgeous

This is one of the most beautiful SML tenors made, with my favorite engraving pattern (including inside the bell) and my favorite deep gold lacquer color. This horn has a wonderful overhaul on it. I wish I knew who had done this work because it roasts. If you want to have a dark, dense, powerful tone that is Selmer-like but has the big tone of a Conn, this is for you. It's a lyrical horn too. I'm tempted ot chuck my personal (perma)gold SML and keep this one instead. There's a bit of spot lacquering on the LH pinky keys, and the low C keyguard popped off and was carefully resoldered without burning any lacquer. It's about as clean an example of a Gold Medal as you will ever see. This has all the famous features that SML touted, and is a world-class tenor to hang with the best of them. It ships in a new ProTec XL contoured case for optimal protection.
