It includes a case, which may be original and shows considerable wear, but fully functional-all latches and hinges intact. (And you can tell by the very light wear to the neck strap ring that it was never played very much.) The new pads are premium leather with Selmer style plastic boosters, and I use high quality felt and natural cork. It is extremely clean and straight, the action is smooth, and the gold plate is nearly 100%. The low Eb guard has been resoldered (see picture) and there are a couple of very minor dings, but this instrument is in remarkable condition for its age. As always, you may want to take it to your tech for a post-shipping tweak or to adjust to your personal preference. When shipped it will have no leaks and no lost action. I have completely disassembled it, thoroughly cleaned and lubricated it, replaced all the pads and felts and most of the corks, and set it up to optimal playing condition. This is a Gorgeous C Melody, made by Buescher and stenciled "Selmer New York". Item: 183324344742 Gold Plated Buescher C Melody Saxophone-Gorgeous and Ready To Play.
