It's too dark for me to make out much,
but the Low B and Bb Keys are on the inside, so
if it's a Selmer, it Pre-Dates the Balanced Action, maybe a Cigar Cutter.
Conns have bigger bells.
Sonny used lots of horns.
I met him at a repair shop in Oakland, and asked why he stopped using the King Super 20 he used on
Way Out West, and the Contemporary Leaders.
He said the high notes went out of tune, so he got rid of it!
Mostly he used MkVI tho.
I love The Sound of Sonny, from when he was barely out of his teen years.
