I purchased this horn brand new, and played very limited hours on it. The horn is in mint condition, no flaws and plays really great. Ready to go, and ready for the next player.

Here are the finer details:

The Selmer TS44B is an entry level professional Tenor Saxophone. The horn itself is made outside of Paris, whereas the neck is still designed and made in Paris. This is done to make this horn affordable to customers who desire a Selmer professional horn, but cannot afford the price of the standard Paris made horns. This horn features a genuine Henri Selmer Paris neck and mouthpiece, a beautiful BAM backpack case and a warm, rich sound ideal for both classical and jazz playing. The body is a fully ribbed design and features Pisoni pro pads and blue steel springs for great reaction time and durability.

It is the first collaboration between Selmer US and Henri Selmer Paris that has resulted in an affordable saxophone with unexpected performance. The Selmer TS-44 possesses many features that are common for professional instruments and uncommon for student instruments. It possesses all of the dynamic and timbral range a professional musician needs to deliver an expressive performance, but stays in a price range that is within reach of more musicians than would be a Reference 54 or a Series III.

This model is in a Black Nickel-Silver finish, and comes standard with a S80 C* Paris mouthpiece.
