Buffet S1 Tenor Saxophone 1976

Own a Piece of Saxophone History: Buffet Crampon S1 Tenor Saxophone

Discerning saxophonists, this is for you.

The Buffet Crampon S1 Tenor Saxophone is a legendary instrument, holding its own against the revered Selmer Mark VI of the same era. This isn't just a vintage horn; it's a foundation stone – its design principles are alive and well in Buffet's current lineup, a testament to its enduring quality.

Crafted in Paris during the pinnacle of saxophone making (mid-1970s), this S1 boasts exceptional tone and intonation, making it an absolute joy to play. These instruments rarely appear for sale, so here's your chance to own a true piece of saxophone history.

While not a museum relic, it's a player's dream. It features older pads that still perform admirably, with just the Front F needing a minor adjustment. There's a super close-up photo of an octave pip that may have been expertly resoldered years ago – a detail invisible under normal playing conditions and with zero impact on performance. The lacquer shows some honest wear and tear from years of bringing music to life, with a few scratches and light lacquer wear – nothing unexpected from a well-loved saxophone.

The included hard-shell case is in very good condition, likely a Leblanc or Yamaha, providing excellent protection for your prized instrument.

Don't miss this opportunity to add a legend to your collection. The Buffet Crampon S1 Tenor Saxophone awaits a discerning player ready to create magic.
