My sax happens to have all of them except one: “The long bell”. I’ve found out six signs or features that came on the SBA. This is the first s/n chart saying, by number, that my tenor actually IS a very early SBA (and not a late BA) More research could be published on that topic I think. The more funny way: Trying to learn what different features that Selmer saxes came with in that time. Also, if 8/10 charts tell me the same answer that’s at least something…Ģ. Checking all existing (there’s a lot of them!)s/n-charts that different people put up and trying to find out which one you believe is the most accurate. I’ve done a lot of research on the internet trying to figure out.Īnd there’s only two ways to do it I think.ġ. Very interesting! I’ve always wondered if my 34 xxx tenor were an SA or SBA.

Not sure if that is even possible but it would be cool to know that my sax was from 1951 and 600 tenor saxophone were made that year for example………. I would love to see this chart broken down by year also. That gives me hope that there has to be one in someone’s garage or attic up here in Vermont somewhere…….I’ll have to keep looking and stopping at those garage sales…….Thanks for the research and chart Douglas! Very interesting! There were 83,530 Mark VI tenor saxophones made. I always wondered how many Selmer Super Balanced Action (SBA) tenor saxophones there were and according to this, there were 9,100 made of which I have one. There is a serial number chart on the Selmer website which breaks the serial numbers down by year but doesn’t go into detail about the types of saxophones made nor how many. The cool aspect of this chart that I have never seen before is that Douglas has included the quantities of each type of sax with each model run. This chart was researched by Douglas Pipher and shared on SOTW today. Here is a cool chart of the serial numbers and models of Selmer Saxophones through the last 100 years.
