Here's a very rare saxophone. This is a gorgeous genuine mint Selmer Paris Super Balanced Action curved soprano sax. New pads, professionally refurbished. There is almost no finish wear on the original silver plating and is well over 99% intact. There are no dents, dings or resolders, the sax has never been damaged. This sax has a slightly darker tonal color with an amazingly warm and rich sound. Its extremely responsive. It is truly a fascinating instrument. This is a very special and unique vintage soprano with two serials (51557 on the body and 38885 on the bell). Never seen before, probably is only one ever made as a mistake by the Selmer factory. The sound and feel is exceptional. The sax fits beautifully in your hands and feels like it almost plays itself. Incredibly responsive and resonant, with unmatched tonal color. My opinion - it was made in 1952. Comes with an original Selmer hard case, original Selmer straps with golden treads, Selmer diamond logo mouthpiece, no letter on the back side - probably refaced.
