The horn is in overall really excellent shape and has been professionally owned and maintained. The body tube is super clean, the bottom bow is free of any denting, and the neck is free from pull down or even signs of pull down. This one is a European SBA and it has the bell engraving and non serial stamped original neck to prove it. Most of the lacquer has both worn off from use and was stripped off down to the bare brass. it is difficult to say with certainty but in order to be on the cautious side we would say that what little lacquer is left on the horn by the lower stack is from a very old factory re-laq. The owner believes it is potentially original but we cannot confirm this.
This gorgeous SBA tenor has lots of spit corrosion and patina from a lifetime of playing. This in no way affect the performance of the horn and are merely cosmetic. This tenor has an older set of Pisoni Professional pads from its previous overhaul not done by our shop. It was just given a full comb though to ensure that these pads are sealing absolutely perfectly and that this piece of Selmer history is singing. This horn has an absolutely INCREDIBLE sound and the ergonomics and key action feel perfect!
