          It’s not an Alto, it’s a Tenor. Just using my same set up–Ebonite MP with a Winslow ligature and 2.5 Alexander Superial Cane Reeds.

              Update on my Selmer Signet: I took it to the shop today. There’s 5 pads that need replacing, the upper body of the sax was a little out of alignment & the key holder that the neck strap attaches to needed to be replaced, which he said is nothing out of the norm for a Sax from 1965 and overall it was in great shape. I bought it from the original owner–he hadn’t used it in about 6 years–and the sax repair man said the owner took very good care of it. It just needed a little bit of lovin’ and this ‘kitten’ of a Sax will be good to go 🙂

                    Michael, hi. This is your post, but I have to admit I’m curious as to why you used the word ” kitten ” in your tale of buying this horn. I tried to warn you off of this seller a while back, the whole forum. I assume you used it to make the point you bought it off of e bay. Is that right ? Did you buy it off of kitten whisper, are you kitten whisper. You’ve dropped that word for a reason. Is it important..? To me….well yeah !!
                    Look forward to your reply….thanks😐

                      Well, Michael has chosen not to answer. That’s fine. Five pads missing, upper stack out of whack ( its bent ). Hope you’ve got a GREAT TECH Michael !!
                      I’m not going to mention this again , but avoid E bay seller ” kitten whisper ” at all costs.
                      I got the same description on the Hammerschmidt; how the guy had owned and cared for it for many years; it arrived an absolute mess. Looked great on the shots; wouldn’t play a note.
                      I’m actually trying to help a great bunch of people here Michael. Warn them off of sellers with no scruples.
                      Safe & Happy day folks…..☺

                        I also believe I’m doing the right thing. There are quite a few people here now just beginning their journey. Man, I’d hate to see somebody get ripped off, because I couldn’t be bothered to mention it !!
                        Good luck with the horn….
