This is an original lacquer Selmer Super Balanced Action tenor saxophone made in 1952. SBAs from this era are known for being the bridge between the early SBA tenors and the early Mark VI Tenors; many people believe that these late SBAs have the best of both worlds. This horn has about 85% original lacquer and is in line for a complete overhaul by master technician Aaron Barnard. Contact us if you are interested in this horn as-is.
