Important: What you see is what you get -- please examine photos
carefully. These parts are rare, but are water damaged. They are
available *because* they were so water affected that it made more sense
for me to remove all the keywork from the original saxophone and replace it with modern parts.
These parts are salvageable, but it will be a lot of work to salvage them.
Please
don't hesitate to write for more details before bidding. I normally
sell all items with return guarantees, but because this auction is for
explicitly damaged parts -- that will require careful work to salvage --
all sales are final for these keys and hardware.
If you see screws it is because they are stuck.
ABOUT THESE PARTS:
ORIGINAL SOURCE: Selmer Paris Super Balanced Action tenor saxophone, #35,4xx, with offset toneholes.
BACKSTORY:
I bought a water damaged SBA tenor with lots of verdigris and rusted
screws and springs. To bring it back from the dead, it made more sense
to me to replace all the keywork rather than rescue the old (less work for the former), so these parts are for sale. Buyer
should assume that there will be work required to unstick screws (if
there are screws), and to remove springs; if it looks like there is
verdigris damage, there probably is.
ABOUT
JUST SAXES: Please see links in the seller info. I have been
restoring and retailing saxophones since 2001, and am well known for it
internationally. I also sell a line of saxophones called "Just Saxes
Crescent" with the established line made in PRC, and a new line made in
ROC (you can research me and Just Saxes by searches for those terms). Just Saxes is a full service saxophone boutique located in Live
Oak (Santa Cruz), CA.
SHIPPING: for these parts, shipping will be flat rate $12 for USPS Priority Mail (with tracking) in the "CONUS," and actual cost plus $5 for international.
*** Discounts are available for those seeking to purchase multiple parts offered in different auctions -- I have the full set minus the G key, so I will likely list the rest bit by bit if I still have them when I have time to make the auction listings ***
