Cavalier Selmer-style tenor saxophone 🎷
$2,500
'Cavalier' Selmer-style tenor saxophone 🎷 $2500
This is a special find! This Cavalier saxophone is an early Chinese attempt at copying a Selmer design. This includes not only cosmetic things like the SBA-style split bell key guards, wire neck key and small pinky cluster, but also its playing character, which is focused and definitely reminiscent of classic French designs. I'm not entirely certain of the year of manufacture, but the original sale paperwork says it was first sold by Allan's in 1965.
This horn has had very little playing time since it was sold originally. As a result, it's mechanically in great shape and ready to give many years of service. The beautiful satin silver plate and gold wash bell are in near perfect condition. It's wearing a set of as-new pads installed by Ozwinds in 2020 or 2021. The pad work is snappy and firm.
I bought this instrument because I wanted to experiment with a more French instrument than my Conn and Buescher saxophones. It turns out that the vintage American sound is what I prefer, so I'm putting it up for sale.
Comes in its original box-style case.
Test plays welcome in Oakleigh East. Pick up only and cash only.
