Selmer-Paris Super Action 80 Series II Baritone Saxophone - Ex-USAF
For sale is a professional Selmer-Paris Super Action 80 Series II Baritone Saxophone, serial number 57026. This horn is a killer player that anchored a prestigious military ensemble, the United States Air Force Band. It is a fantastic workhorse in GREAT shape, built to withstand the demands of the most rigorous performance schedule.
This is the definitive choice for the serious baritone professional—whether for orchestral work, a big band anchor, or a dedicated collector who values documented history and proven performance. Its massive sound and comfortable low-A range are essential for top-tier playing.
The Series II Bari: Power and Provenance
The Series II baritone is known for its excellent consistency, powerful projection, and warm, mellow tone. It offers the structural and acoustic stability required to anchor any large brass section.
What sets this horn apart:
- Military Provenance: This horn was professional government property, meaning it has been regularly inspected and maintained to the highest mechanical standards required by the USAF. This is a horn proven under pressure.
- Low A Range: The range extends down to Low A, meeting the requirements of modern band and orchestral repertoire.
- Honest Road Wear: This horn shows the genuine character of a professional instrument. There is evidence of use, including lacquer loss (approximately 90% remaining), "flea bites," and acid bleed around the body-to-bell bracing. These cosmetic signs are proof of its extensive stage time and do not affect the sound.
- Optional Repair: There are some minor dents in the body that can be removed by our technicians by request for a small fee, allowing you to customize its appearance.
