SML Strasser Marigaux Lemaire Alto sax Rev. B - Silver plated

SML alto sax Rev. B for sale.
The instrument is in excellent condition for its age (80+years)

It sounds great and very loud with a sweet tone.
Original silver plate finish in more than 95% of the instrument. Just small detail near the neck that you can check in photos. (Maybe another I didn’t noticed but I can send photos if interested)

Rolled tone holes

Repadded 1 year ago but not used (I play tenor), so pads have +90% life.
I used to live in Mexico city so it was serviced, oiled, polished and regulated on January 2025 by the best woodwinds and brass luthier in Mexico “Casa Hermanos Olarte” (6 generations of luthiers). Since then, I hasn’t been played. All the time it has been in it‘s case.

I can send a video if interested to check the sound of the instrument (I‘ll try to do my best playtesting it). Just send a message and I can send it.
I send it with the original wood cap and the case it came in (I think is original too but not completely sure).
Any question, please don’t hesitate to ask.
