This beautiful instrument probably dates from the early 1950s. The silver-plated saxophone is of exceptional quality. We really enjoy doing maintenance on this instrument, what class! Experts say that this instrument equals the Selmer Mark VI.
There are many beautiful details, such as the engravings on the entire instrument including the key protectors. The beautifully designed details such as the posts, the octave key and the key protectors. The neck screw works via a welded-on strap; a beautifully thought-out detail.
