Selmer SA80 - Soprano Sax (N.380174)

Product Information

The Selmer SA80 Soprano Saxophone is one of the most respected professional soprano saxophones ever manufactured, delivering focused, powerful tone suited to classical, jazz, and contemporary performance. 

This mid-1980s example (serial N.380174) represents the original SA80 design, before the later Series II and III refinements, combining authentic vintage response with reliable engineering. The SA80 remains a favourite of serious musicians seeking a genuinely professional soprano without compromise.

This instrument shows cosmetic lacquer wear befitting its age and playing history—honest patina from decades of use. Mechanically, it has been comprehensively serviced through our workshop: disassembled, cleaned, and polished throughout, with keywork mechanism de-greased and tone holes checked. 

Pre-owned original SA80s offer exceptional value for soprano saxophonists stepping up to professional-grade equipment or established players seeking a secondary instrument. We recommend this Selmer SA80 for serious musicians appreciating proven vintage design and reliable performance.
