Buffet Crampon S1 Tenor Saxophone? - Pro Horn 1978 Serial # 1283XX - $1,300 - (Olathe, KS)

This tenor is a nice player at a great price. Good sound and free blowing from top to bottom and the low notes come out easily. The lacquer is like 97%, with surface scratching? and some minor dents and dings (pictures tell the story). The horn doesn’t show signs of being played a lot. They keys aren’t worn, the pearls are still pretty crisp and the mechanics are good. The pads are in good condition. It has some bumps and bruises, though. The neck was pulled down at some point and has been repaired but you can still see the wrinkles on the outside of the tube. The bell has been dented in the front and then smoothed out, but not perfectly. The bow has a couple of minor dents and the protector plate is a little flattened, but the structure of the actual bow is fully intact. There are some other dents and dings. One post at the top of the upper stack has been resoldered.? In spite of the imperfections, it has 100 percent structural and key work integrity and, it plays and sounds great. It was recently serviced by my tech, is in good playing condition and ready to go. Buffets were top competitors of the Selmer Mark VI in the 70's. The S1 horns were high quality and the pinnacle of design of all the Buffet horns and are very well built. The S1 was the successor the popular Super Dynaction and was the flagship professional saxophone from Buffet. This pro horn is a very good player at a super great price. It would be a great horn for an alto player who also needs a tenor or, for a student who would like to play a pro quality horn. It comes with a Selmer-style hard case in near mint condition.
