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. world wide free s&h.
