1923 Selmer Modele 22 alto
1923 Selmer Modele 22 alto
Rare early Selmer alto saxophone. Modele 22 from 1923.
I'm listing this one for a friend who had the horn overhauled with leather pads and flat metal resonators. It plays very well and offers a very different sonority than similar vintage conns and bueschers. The intonation is good and it matches well with a variety of more modern Selmer mouthpieces. It comes with a black leather reunion blues bag. from the San Francisco era in near to new condition. I can offer some other case options if you like.
Its in great shape for its age and fully ready for use.
