Hello! You are looking at a Vintage 1940s Buffet Crampon SA 18-20 Tenor Saxophone w/ OHSC. Made in Paris, France and dated back to the 1940s, this vintage Buffet is truly remarkable! The SA 18-20 is considered one of Buffet's finest pre-Dynaction professional models and is recognized for its rich, complex tone, excellent projection, and distinctive French saxophone character.


This horn is in great condition for a vintage instrument and ready to play. The original lacquer is still shining bright as ever! The pads are highly responsive and in very good condition. The action is superb, with the keys playing effortlessly up and down the instrument. The intonation is truly amazing; every note rings with confidence and clarity! It is extremely versatile, with the intonation remaining remarkably consistent across every register.


Throughout the neck and body, minor cosmetic imperfections are present, none of which impact the functionality of the horn in the slightest.
