Used Selmer Paris Super Action 80 Series II Tenor Saxophone - Walt Johnson Case
For sale is a Used Selmer Paris Super Action 80 Series II Tenor Saxophone, serial number 531691. The Series II is arguably the most popular professional saxophone in the world, having set the standard for modern saxophone design for over three decades. This specific instrument is a true "player's horn," offering the legendary Selmer sound—rich, open, and harmonically complex—at a price point that makes it accessible for the serious student or working professional. Priced at $4,000, it comes paired with a highly sought-after Walt Johnson Flight Case, ensuring your investment is protected by the best.
This is the ultimate "do-it-all" saxophone. The Series II is famous for its incredible versatility. Whether you are a classical player looking for a warm, focused tone for wind ensemble, or a jazz player needing a horn that can scream in a big band, the Series II handles both with ease. It is the perfect choice for the college music major who needs one professional instrument to cover all their performance requirements, or the gigging pro looking for a reliable backup to their Mark VI.
The "Series II" Advantage
-
The World Standard: Since its release, the Series II has been the benchmark for professional saxophones. It features a darker, more spread sound than the Series III, giving it a character that is often compared to vintage Selmers but with modern intonation and ergonomics
- Walt Johnson Case: This instrument includes an original Walt Johnson Flight Case. These cases are legendary in the industry for their durability and slim profile. A used Walt Johnson case alone can fetch a high price, making this package an incredible value.
-
Heavy Mass Screw: Includes an aftermarket Heavy Weight Neck Screw. Many players find that this small addition adds focus and core to the sound, stabilizing the vibration at the neck joint.
-
Ergonomics: Selmer Paris keywork is the gold standard. The action is crisp, fast, and fits naturally under the fingers, allowing for effortless technical facility.
Condition:
-
Finish: Original Lacquer. This instrument is in Good / Player's Condition. It shows clear signs of honest use, including acid bleed around the left-hand pinky table and scattered scratches on the body, bell, and bow. These are purely cosmetic indicators of a horn that has been played and loved, not neglected.
-
Body: Structurally Sound. Despite the cosmetic wear, there are no major signs of damage, trauma, or past dent work. The body tube is straight, the bell flare is even, and the neck is original and in excellent shape.
-
Pads & Mechanics: The pads are sealing well, and the action has been regulated by our shop. It is ready to play right out of the case.
