Selmer Reference 54 tenor saxophone sax

Description

Selmer Reference 54 tenor saxophone sax.   Good condition.  A real player's horn.  My last gig with the horn was in Manhattan at Bowery Electric in March 2020.  The pads are good.  The "Vintage" or "Antique" finish has been market up or scratched on various places around the horn but it only adds to the cool patina.
My previous horn was a quirky Mark VI..the thing I prefer about the 54 is that it plays very neutral/flexible and let's you shape the sound.  Great intonation too.
This ref. 54 tenor has received a pro set-up within the past year from the great NYC repairman Bill Singer.  Bill Singer also hammered out a dent in the bow about ten years ago.  He did a great job and the horn sounds as good as it did before the dent.  Though I have to disclaim:  you should probably bring the horn to your local repair person for it to play its best after any jostling the horn may have received during shipping.
Comes in a decent pro-tec case.

Serial number is N6209xx which pegs it to 2001/2002 manufactured
I just added some daylight pictures as the originals didn’t quite capture the patina as I picture it as I see it. These new photos go too far in the other direction and are bright.
