This Selmer Balanced Action plays great and has that sweet, centered and focused sound that these are known for. The sax comes in a modern ProTec contoured case. The sax also has almost all of the original metal resonators. The sax is in great playing condition. My tech replaced a handful of pads and made sure that the others seal perfectly. The horn plays effortlessly down to low Bb. The neck is original to the horn and has the matching serial number on it. As with most BA's, this one does not have the original finish. However, most of the engraving is still present including the cabin and lake scene on the bell. I invite you to try this horn risk free. US buyers are free to return the sax for any reason, provided you pay shipping and insurance both ways and pay a $50 restocking fee. The restocking fee and round trip travel usually necessitates a return to the repair shop!
