This Selmer Maccaferri built in 1933 is
numbered 271. It is a very beautiful original specimen dating from the
short period during which Mario Maccaferri (1900-1993) worked at Selmer
in Paris (1930-1933). Within a few years Selmer guitars became popular
with dance bands and gypsy jazz combos all over Europe and were played
with great pleasure by guitarists in the time before amplification. The
most famous is probably Django Reinhard. In 20 years, not more than
1000 Selmer guitars were built, making original Selmer guitars a rare
and precious finding for both players and collectors.
This “Orchestre” model, also known as D-Hole or Grande-Bouche guitar, is
in very good condition. The original resonator is still in use and the
guitar has only two thin repaired cracks on the top. The neck angle was
rectified a long time ago and the guitar is now perfectly stable. It is
an instrument of extreme rarity and great historical value. Moreover,
this guitar in perfect playing condition is an authentic and grandiose
concert instrument.
