Original condition Alto sax from 1949. Housed in original Selmer case with original Selmer accessories.
This was bought for me on my 18th birthday - 30 years ago by my mother from a Widdow who's husband used to play. The story goes that it was played on professional recordings and perhaps TV performances. This was the ladies story but unfortunately I cannot verify this as all persons able to verify are deceased.
