This vintage Selmer Super Action (also referred to as Super Balanced Action) from 1948 is a real treat to play and it looks simply gorgeous! With a full bodied, silky smooth core sound this vintage Selmer Alto Sax offers plenty of tonal colour and versatility.
The key action is light making it very easy to move across the full range at pace. In terms of age the serial number places its production circa 1948. These vintage Selmer's, just before the Mark 6 arrival, feel great in the hands and have a gorgeous vintage tone and response. This particular example is in fantastic order throughout, there are no signs of work or damage to the body or keys previously.
Like all pre-owned Saxophones this Selmer has been given a full set-up and preparation in our Woodwind workshop before sale ensuring it blows easily across the whole range. This includes prep and care for the pad seating, springing, corks, regulation and more.
