Selmer Signet

[Phat Pat]

I know the way to tell if its a worthwhile sax is by the left hand pads and the "s" bell brace, but I cant get a look at the bell brace, so does anyone know of any other way to tell, or if the left side pads are enough to tell?

Why can't you get a look at the brace? If it's on Ebay you can ask for better pictures. Not sure of another way to check. I have one I am restoring to sell. It has the S brace and will have new pads, etc after I am finished. How big a hurry are you in? Dan

I just bought it after talking to my repair guy, said he'd give me a good deal on any work it needed since i always take the time to pass up several band shops to go to him (I wouldnt trust those shops with a toy sax)

I think I've found out what I needed to know anyway

newer signet not as desirable

Are the left pinky table keys on the old Signet's like the new ones? or do they have the old style pinky table keys where the C#,B,Bb are next to each other and the Bb wraps around below?

Thanks. I'm curious.
