Saxophones A bari....at last...

[Adrian63]

Afternoon folks : I'd started to think this wasn't going to happen but there you go :
An " Adolphe " ( Selmer / model 26 ) low Bb....

 

[JayeNM]

Wait....yours ?

Was that a goal of yours ? (I sorta lose track of your wants and needs )

(If so....More pics, please....)

 

[Adrian63]

Yeah George : as of today its mine . Bari has always been my horn of choice but I've been without for three or four years now . The price of a decent bari right now is just ridiculous but yeah ; I touched lucky....

 

[Adrian63]

More shots is no problem but let me wait for decent light please....

Congrats! It must feel good to finally get one after your wait. Pics are great but maybe we could also hear it some day.

If the wind is blowing in the right direction I probably will!

 

[jazzdoh]

Congrats mate, looks nice.

 

[Adrian63]

Thanks Bri : yeah it's a lovely horn ; good to be playing the big gun again....

 

[Pete Thomas]

I love those Selmer Adolphes, IMO better than the Modele 22 and 26.

I've had a tenor and alto, I wish i still had them but that's so often the way with ex saxophones (as opposed to ex wives)

 

[Adrian63]

Cheers Pete : it's great man im really happy with it....

 

[squeak]

That must be one rare saxophone and in beautiful condition. I would also love to see more pics and hear if possible.

 

[Nick Wyver]

It's always nice to get what you need after a long wait. IYSWIM
I hope you'll be very happy together.

I'd hate it.

 

[Adrian63]

Thanks Nick : not great but a coupla shots more....

 

[Adrian63]

 

[Dr G]

That looks to be in amazing condition!

Play in good health, and may you find a decent reed.

All the best,

George

 

[Adrian63]

Thank you George ; great to see you once more man....

Looks great.
I just scored a Baritone that I’ve been chasing for a while also.
It’s a Selmer Super Series (Cigar Cutter era).
Having a little work done on it at the moment but sure it will be great.

 

[Adrian63]

You wouldn't have a mpc you want to offload would you man ?
We'd have to go through the yardsale for the charity donation and all but yeah ; just a thought . Regardless : congratulations on the new horn and have a good day..

 

[Adrian63]

Some shots would be good

I've got a lot of bari pieces that I'm not playing at the moment. If you're interested, start a conversation and let me know what sort of thing you would like (e.g. ebonite or metal, tip opening, chamber size, baffle style).
