Arguably, the Reference 54 is known to be the best overall saxophone Selmer Paris ever produced. These horns Feature that great sound from the Mark VI that made Selmer famous, and the Reference 54 expands on that concept by adding modern ergonomics, intonation and mechanics.
In 2005 Selmer started releasing the "Tribute to Bird" series of saxophones. Once a year they would feature a new continent and release a new style of Reference 54 that is specific to that continent. These Bird Series would feature a custom hand-done engraving that featured a bird from the cooresponding continent. Produced only in the year 2006 The Kookaburra model represents Australia. This horn features the standard lacquer version of this prolific horn. There were only 330 Kookaburra's ever produced by Selmer.
This horn was played very carefully over it's 15 years. The horn does sport some wear common with it's age like cosmetic feather scratches and some minor lacquer loss on the octave key. Pads are in great condition, fully seal, and look phenomenal. The kookaburra engraving is nearly mint. There are some minor scratches along the back of the horn around the bell bow. No dents. No solder spots. No major damage anywhere on the horn. All spots are photographed above. Will ship with original case and neck in excellent condition. The horn has been fully inspected and adjusted by our technicians here in the shop and will ship to you in full playing condition.
