I'm rather excited about this horn. Made in 1961; 91xxx. Overhauled and relacquered in 1970, and sadly the owner died later in 1970. It has a lot of original paperwork I could scan if anyone has any interest in that sort of thing, but I imagine there's some out on the web now already.
Might post a sound clip this evening or tomorrow for some critiques, but I need to experiment with some mouthpieces too.
It came with an old Brilhart Tonalin, in a "Faberge Men's Lotion" box. It was stuffed into an Alto Mouthpiece cap. Two old ligatures, a stand-light.
The case had been sitting since '70.
Selmer has made a lot of changes since then - I hope that you're OK with playing an older model.
Mouthpieces: Your horn likely came with a Soloist in the case - maybe a MouthpieceCafe Espresso? Then there is the classic pairing of Selmer/Link - that's a whole 'nother bag.
there should be either a plastic tube or shrink wrap or a piece of thin felt glued around that shaft that goes into the hook..should be little to no play in there, even just temporarily wrap a piece of electrical tape around it
Well... I'm just dealing with it currently. I'll look harder at what exactly it is later this evening. I've been doing a lot of shedding on two/three classical pieces on alto. (actually... I've got a glorious reed right now.) And just use the tenor as a break from the craziness with the omnibook.
