We recently did a full overhaul on this SDA. Note that most of the sparkle lacquer is missing and the rest is starting to flake off. This horn has had extensive solder work done, both as part of the overhaul and by previous technicians. Copious scratching. There has been some extensive dent work on the horn. There are still some small minor dents present throughout. It is also missing the alternate F# key guard and lower stack pants guard.
Throughout the history of saxophone, some companies have gotten all of the notoriety. Whether it is a coincidence that many famous players chose this fabled horns before making quintessential recordings, there have always been instruments of the same caliber that have gotten passed over by the eye of saxophone collector. The Buffet Super Dynaction Tenor saxophone is the prime example of a sleeper horn. French design, build and artesian craftsmanship, the SDA can go pound for pound with any SBA on the market. Featuring a lush, resonant sound, lightning fast key work and the timbral flexibility to fit in any musical environment. With being a significantly smaller investment than a vintage Selmer, you can buy a horn with all of the characteristics that make vintage French made saxophones the pinnacle of a players collection.
