Selmer VII Tenor?I have read some really mixed opinions on the Selmer VII sax. I am in the market for a tenor, and have been play testing tenors for weeks. I have tried the Yamaha 62, 82z, 875 EX, Selmer II, III. Kelwerth SX 90R, Antigua Pro-One, Yanagisawa 901,902,991, and P-Mauriat's. Out of all the saxophones I test drove the P-Mauriat, Antigua-Pro One for new horns had the dark resonant quality I am looking for but the price was a bit high. However, a local shop has a Selmer VII tenor in my price range that is fully engraved with a brand new overhaul and no prior damage or re-lacquer. It had the sound I was looking for. I have long fingers and it just seemed to fit like a glove. My question is, do the Selmer 7 horns "tenor" have something that makes them undesirable? Such as poor materials "brass", shoddy key work, or anything I should be aware of? I really like how it plays, and coming from an old Antigua 500, it plays in tune, feels good, and sounds awesome. |
