Pre-Owned Henri Selmer Paris Super Action 80 Series II Tenor Saxophone - Lacquer
We have a really solid late-90s Selmer Series II tenor in the shop today. If you are looking for that classic Selmer sound and want a reliable professional horn that you can confidently take to any gig, this is a great option.
This specific tenor (serial number 566805) is a "non-Jubilee" model built right around 1999. A lot of players actually prefer these older Series IIs, finding that the slightly heavier build gives the horn a thicker, darker tonal core compared to the modern production run. It’s a great all-around tenor that works perfectly in a concert band, jazz combo, or horn section.
Key Features
-
The Series II Sound: Known for being incredibly versatile. It has a rich, complex sound with enough resistance to let you push the volume without the tone thinning out.
-
Pre-Jubilee Build: Features the traditional Selmer Paris floral engraving and the classic lacquer formula used throughout the 80s and 90s.
-
Comfortable Ergonomics: Standard, reliable Selmer keywork that sits naturally under the hands and just makes sense.
Condition & Shop Inspection

Cosmetics: Great Condition. This horn has been very well cared for. The lacquer is remarkably solid and holding up very well for its age. You will notice a few minor, surface-level scratches from standard use, but there is nothing overt, and there are no major cosmetic issues.
-
Mechanics: Bench-Tested & Ready. Our in-house repair team has gone through this horn completely. The pads are in great shape, it seals up nicely, and the action is dialed in. It plays smoothly and effortlessly from top to bottom.
-
