DESCRIPTION
The Selmer Bundy II Alto Saxophone stands as one of the most respected student instruments ever produced. Manufactured by Selmer USA during the early 1980s, the Bundy II was specifically designed to meet the demands of beginning and intermediate players while offering the durability required for the rigors of school band programs.
Introduced as the successor to the original Bundy model, the Bundy II carried forward Selmer's tradition of dependable educational instruments. Drawing upon the historic Buescher manufacturing lineage following Selmer's acquisition of the Buescher Band Instrument Company, the Bundy II combined practical student-focused engineering with the reliable American craftsmanship that made Selmer instruments a staple in music education.
Known for its smooth, centered tone and rugged mechanical construction, the Bundy II quickly became a favorite among band directors, repair technicians, and music educators across the country. Designed to withstand years of rehearsals, performances, transportation, and daily practice, these instruments earned a reputation for exceptional longevity and consistent playability.
While lacking some of the ergonomic refinements and extended keywork found on modern professional saxophones, the Bundy II remains highly regarded for its straightforward design, dependable response, and outstanding value. Decades after its introduction, it continues to be sought after by students and educators alike as a proven and reliable instrument.
Our featured instrument has seen normal use over the years and exhibits numerous light feather scratches throughout the body. Portions of the keywork show typical finish wear from years of handling, and there are a few minor pings present, but no significant dings or dents to the body. Our technician has adjusted the saxophone for General Playing Conditions, installed a new neck cork, and performed additional refinements as necessary to ensure dependable performance.
Whether you're searching for a dependable marching band instrument or purchasing your child's first saxophone, this Selmer Bundy II offers the durability, playability, and legendary reputation that have made it a favorite among generations of musicians. Included with the instrument are the Original Hard-shell Case, a stock Mouthpiece, Ligature, and Mouthpiece Cap.
