Ukhorns are proud and honoured to have the opportunity to be involved with the sale of this horn Selmer Balanced Action from 1936 This Selmer was shipped from Paris, April 1936. for the uk market . IT was shipped without engraving or lacquer so would have the final set up completed at Selmer London . Selmer Paris shipped roughly 95 tenors to Selmer London in 1936 information courtesy of Douglas Pipher We believe this is not the original Lacquer but obviously done a while back and done to a very good standard ,possibly done by Selmer . The engraving is still visible and intact ,so no over buffing The pads ,mixture of old and new seal well and the sax plays well. Comes with the original Selmer case Being previously owned by a pro player the sax has been well cared for and serviced on a regular basis .
