  • In this video, we visit with Mike Corrigan. He found this Selmer Balanced Action tenor saxophone at a garage sale. There’s also an interesting fine that we had to dig out of the bell. Thanks for watching!

    The old Tuxedo bag is pretty sweet. You really don’t see those anywhere! Did both horns have gig bags like that?

      I was excited to see it. I’m looking for one, but I want something nicer than that one. Thanks for watching!

    Nice find. ‘“A trash bag with a zipper” lol.

      I always cringe when I see those gig trash bags because I know the sax is going to need more work than usual.

    You’ve got to be kidding me - wow! A BA and a Mk VI at a garage sale? Holy smokes, I hope you also bought a lottery ticket too!
    I’m guessing you’ll find an Otto Link in the bottom…or a skeleton playing a sax - DOH! ;^)

      lol. I was really surprised. What a weird thing to keep in the bell.

      That’s what I said! Mike gave it to me and it’s going to be on display in the cave. Maybe I’ll take it to a gig sometime.

      @@Scottsmusiccave The obvious question is - “how does a skeleton support it’s air-stream?” and the embouchure is definitely an issue too! I think the dead should stick with guitars…

      I’m going to have to start going to garage sales just to get a Selmer. Probably the only way I could afford one lol.
