Selmer Paris 84 Reference 36 Dark Lacquer Tenor Saxophone

For sale is a beautiful Selmer Reference 36 with ornate sprawling factory engravings!

The Ref 36 is an absolute gem of a horn that rarely gets the shine they deserve!

These saxophone are Selmer Paris's modern take and inspired recreation of a vintage Super Balanced Action 5 digit holy grail sax.

This sax is an unplayed saxophone however is being sold on blow out deal as an opened box demo with some extremely light surface scratching/smudging as well a pierce in the case shown in picture #12.

Please inspect picture #12 to see close up on the case damage.

These saxophones play loud and proud with a full bodied sound that is dark and robust yet also loud bright and agile.  These horns are great to play!

There are not many of these horns ever produced out there in the wild.  While its not often talked about at one point not that long ago these horns quietly went under a redesign!

If you take a look at near every single Ref 36 that pops up pre owned used they are different then this horn, the current production Ref 36.

The old variation had more basic engraving with rose lacquer over yellow brass.  The older variant also had a much more basic engraving.  I cant speak on what the exact body changes may be if any.

The newer more recent variation is just gorgeous dark lacquer with extensive sprawling classic Selmer Paris ornate floral engravings up and down the bell, extending even to the bow!

The horns are killer players and speak for them selves when played.  There's no doubt these are one of the top tier choices for a tenor saxophone both looks and playing!

Although the case does have the defect, this is not a used tired horn rather an unplayed saxophone with a full life ahead.  This horn ships with all of its factory case candy.

You are buying the actual horn pictured here.

These Reference 36s are produced in extremely small numbers and not readily available.

With the global supply chain being extremely slow and the holiday season closing in, this is a great chance to purchase a dream horn for a great deal.

The horn is priced to sell ready to ship today so please buy and pay confidently!
