Legendary Model S1 [Relatively Beautiful Condition] B.Crampon S1 Alto Saxophone Crampon

Legendary S1 [Relatively Beautiful Condition] B.Crampon S1 Alto Saxophone - Crampon

Reference Price
Current SENZO Brass Lacquer Model ¥1,061,500

This is the Crampon S1, considered a masterpiece of classical saxophones and the predecessor to the highly popular SENZO among classical musicians.

This is an early to mid-model featuring a 5-piece table key and roller, which were intentionally not installed.

Currently, the red bell copper (Cupper) prestige model is particularly popular and its price is soaring, but this is a standard brass lacquer model that was relatively popular at the time. It is positioned as a higher-end version of the S2.

While some lacquer peeling is visible, a relatively large amount of the original lacquer remains.

This is especially recommended for those who aim for a rich, mellow, and soft tone, similar to the sound produced by Masato Kumoi, who currently uses a Crampon alto saxophone as his main instrument.

I am selling this due to the need to secure funds as I have purchased another instrument this month.
I may withdraw the listing once I have secured the necessary funds.

This is a current condition item, with no pad replacement or adjustments made.
I also own another Crampon S1 (mid-model).
That one has been overhauled and is ready to play.

I plan to keep one of them, but if you are interested, I can offer that one instead.

Includes SELMER S80 mouthpiece, Crampon genuine strap, case, and key.
