This saxophone, also known by the name “Super Balanced”, is to some extent a transitional instrument falling between the “Balanced Action” and “Mark VI”.  In contrast to “Balanced Action”, it featured a removable bow, which allowed for much easier maintenance. The body and bow were fitted together with the help of a collar maintained by two screws, while the bell remained welded on the bow.  The principal development related to the ergonomics of the keywork, which was rearranged to enhance playing comfort.

This used alto saxophone from ~1950 has been fully repaired and is ready to live up to its' historic reputation.
