The pads all seal well and have plenty of life. This horn has about 80% of its original lacquer left, and has a small dent on the bottom of the bow that does not affect the playability of the horn. The horn has a complex sound suitable for all styles of music, for which the early "5 digit" saxophones are known. This alto is one the "long" bow altos, which brings the bell key notes slightly sharp relative to the early "short" bow altos, whose bell keys were flat. This Reference 54 has the rich lush tone that is associated with the classic Selmers, with intonation of the modern Selmer horns.
Stylized in the "Spirit of the VI," the Reference 54 marries the neck and bell dimensions of a Mark VI with the body tube and key work of the modern Super Action 80 Series III. It is with great pleasure that we offer an early Reference 54 Alto in the Vintage Brushed finish. I had a guy try to sell this to me, luckily I spotted the obvious. Then again it also doesn't have the instability, nor the tonal variability over the scale. WestCoast Sax said: I just wanted to share some photos of a Selmer Reference 54 Alto Fake. Their designs have formed the basis for nearly all modern saxophones in production, and their models can be found in the hands of legendary players around the world. Much is made of the 54's nod to the past - specifically the MKVI (hence the 'Reference') - and while it's definitely got that typical Selmer depth, it doesn't quite have the petulance of the VI.
