This particular alto arrived to us in excellent condition playing nicely on its current set of premium leather pads and metal domed resonators. All of the pads are still in great shape and have a tone of life left in them. In order to ensure the sax goes out in perfect playing condition it is currently in line to receive a pro set-up in our shop. The set-up includes a dissemble, cleaning and fresh regulation with the replacement of any needed key materials.
Buying a brand new modern Selmer alto is now a very expensive proposition which makes this one very appealing. It ships out in perfect playing condition with a fresh set-up from our shop and the original Selmer wood hard case.
