AMAZING SELMER-PARIS BALANCED ACTION ALTO 100% ORIGINAL SILVER. ALL NEW PADS! - $6,500 - (Wichita, KS)
WICHITA BAND INSTRUMENT COMPANY 2525 East Douglas Avenue Wichita, KS 67211 Tel: (316) 684-0291; FAX (316) 684-6858 AMAZING H. SELMER (Paris) “BALANCED ACTION” ALTO SAX FROM 1941. Superb and totally original example that wears 100% original bright silver plate. Never any dings or dents of any kind. Key pearls are still very sharp. Serial number is 29907, which means it left the factory in March or April of 1941. According to information from Selmer, only 749 saxophones were produced in 1941. If you figure two-thirds were altos and the rest sopranos, tenors and baritones, that means this particular instrument is one of only five hundred examples. Bright silver finish is 100% original, no worn areas anywhere. French engraving is still sharp, no “feathering” at the edges. No neck damage or “pull down” and the sax is sold with the original “table C” metal mouthpiece, still in the original mouthpiece box. The original case has, however, disappeared, so we’ve put a new Pro-Tech case with it. Superb player in absolutely pristine condition. Top recommendation on this one! "Works in progress" photos! Jess will have this one ready, with 100% ALL new pads and corks, to ship by Friday, September 16, maybe a daysooner! NOTE PLEASE: Had another look at the sax, discovered a small worn spot to the high F key-touch. So it's NOT 100% original silver plate, but it IS 99.99 % original silver plate! ******************************************************************************************************Wichita Band Instrument Company is a small musical instrument emporium located in the center of the USA.
