VINTAGE SAX

Anybody who plays sax, desire to blow at once vintage sax such like a Selmer MARK VI which Michael Brecker and David Sanborn play. Anybody who plays sax, desire to have a early Selmer sound and to blow jazz standards like a Coltrane.

The sax usually called vintage in Japan is to Selmer MARK VII. That's when Selmer US stopped to assemble Super Action 80 in 1981. Especially many jazz players adhere to Selmer US sax. Although Selmer US and Selmer Paris are using same parts except for pads and a springs. Selmer US sax was assembled, engraved and lacquered in the United States. In other words, what was carried out in the finish as sax in the United States is called Selmer US sax. And it was also made for jazz music. Although it may be said whether to change so much by the same parts, the value of sax has started this finish truly. When taking out to overhaul, the talks that touch has completely changed, sound completely changed by changing only some pads, are an often heard. The assembly and finishing are works which gives a life to the musical instrument and it is not an overstatement.
