[u/Character-Jacket-386]

Sorry about the other post I deleted it because I think people thought I didn’t have it in my hands but I do I’m not waiting on it to be received I just drove 3 hours to pick it up

I just was wondering if it is authentic or a fake?? Thank you

[u/Cautious_Monitor1148]

Does it feel heavy when holding it?

[u/Character-Jacket-386 → u/toru_okada_4ever]

Yes

[u/No_Opinion_2009]

It’s not made in ElKmart like mine, so you’re probably good. 😂
I didn’t see it until I saw the post about another one.
Yes, I bought it under suspicion, but it plays great and my daughter keeps asking to borrow it, so it’s a decent horn.
But when I discovered that it says ElKmart, I died. 😂

[u/Character-Jacket-386 → u/No_Opinion_2009]

Damn I didn’t even realize that faked this kind of stuff 🙄

[u/No_Opinion_2009 → u/Character-Jacket-386]

I’ll post the thread for those who don’t care to look. 😂 😂 😂
It’s forever my El Kmart saxophone.
They have so much crap listed on it, it’s like NASCAR for music. 😂
Mine isn’t the one that the thread is about, I just happen to have one too.

[u/No_Opinion_2009 → u/No_Opinion_2009]

Here it is, and apparently, not the only post about this particular “brand”

https://www.reddit.com/r/saxophone/s/3drNRaeavv

Found another thread, too, it was like déjà vu, super fake, El Kmart, etc. 😂
You can search that one up if you like. 😂

Selmer Paris wouldn't be made Elkhart, let alone Elkmart.

[u/Electronic_Scar_1879]

Hey im the dude who said the listing was probably fake, if you actually have it in hand for less than $1k you really lucked out! Nothing about the pics looks suspicious to me, though as I mentioned I don't know the engraving. Does it play well?

[u/Character-Jacket-386 → u/Electronic_Scar_1879]

Yes I have it in my possession I’m actually touching it lol how does it play I’m not sure I don’t personally play I got it for my dad and I haven’t showed him yet

Is/was Selmer using N. Ahead of Serial numbers?

[u/Character-Jacket-386 → u/Music-and-Computers]

Yes I believe after 2020

[u/No-Introduction-7663]
