Re-lacquered SBA in need of overhaul

Condition: Needs full re-pad and mechanical overhaul.
Age: 1953
A predecessor to Selmers iconic Mark VI saxophone, the Selmer Super Action (SBA) has developed a cult following over the last few years. They are considerably rarer the Mark VI’s with a production run of only 5 years (1949-1954). Tonally they are more akin to the earlier Selmer tenors but have many of the wonderful ergonomic features found on the later Mark VI. For many, the SBA tenor saxophone represents the holy grail of vintage horns, this is true for players and collectors alike.
This SBA is in need of a full re-pad and mechanical overhaul. It has been re-lacquered at least once in its life and as such the engraving is not clearly visible. Whilst the instrument just about plays, it will need a fair bit of work to get it up to a professional standard. Despite its condition it exhibits that typical warm, direct SBA sound and has bags of potential.

As with all of our instruments, trials are both recommended and encouraged. Please book an appointment or get in touch if you would like any more information.
