Even random bystanders will look up and think ‘man, I love the saxophone!’ With a vintage Dukoff Hollywood or Link STM Double Ring (or modern piece with similar baffle and chamber) you can get a tone that will make every other player green with jealousy. The tone is huge, medium spread, warm, and chocolatey. It feels like a brand new saxophone under the fingers. Just back from a full mechanical overhaul by Carlo Cennamo, this gorgeous original silver plated Conn 10M tenor is playing as well as it possibly can, and will continue to do so with minimal maintenance for the foreseeable future. And if you want the best, then you should get this one, because it’s the nicest early SDA I’ve had in many years, and it also has the nice overhaul already done. The Super Dynaction has a lot going for it – tone more similar to a vintage Selmer Mark VI than most any other vintage horn, keywork that feels nearly modern and fits comfortably under the fingers, Buffet build quality, and good intonation. The tone is medium dark, with a lyrical, ‘French’ core like a Selmer, but with a wider, more operatic voice than a Selmer. That’s about a $1500 value in the overhaul, which you don’t have to have done yourself now. The overhaul was done with Pisoni italian leather pads, and it feels great under the fingers. There are also no dents, no dings, and no past repairs.

It has original dark ‘sparkle’ lacquer, and the lacquer is almost entirely present, which is remarkable.

This is the most desirable earlier version with the more curvy neck that plays darker and fatter. This gorgeous Buffet Super Dynaction is in as nice condition as you ever find one, AND it has a full overhaul recently completed.
