Rare Find: Selmer #489 (Unlisted in the Charle's Book)

I am offering a unique Selmer Petite Bouche, serial #489. This instrument has been in my family for a long time. As many collectors know, this specific serial number is not listed in the François Charle ledger, which makes this instrument a very interesting case for the Selmer registry.

​Technical details:

​Internal inspection confirms the original 1940s neck block construction.

​Aged animal glue joints are consistent with the period.

​The instrument is in excellent playing condition with a powerful, dry "Selmer bark."

​Video Demonstration:

Please see the attached video to hear the actual sound of this Selmer #489. It is played by the late virtuoso Vitaliy Makukin.

​Terms:

Due to the rarity and value of the instrument, I am looking for serious collectors only.

​Location: Crimea.

​Delivery: Strictly face-to-face transaction. No shipping.

​Papers: No CITES or Charle certificate (reflected in the price).

​Please send a PM for more details. Serious offers only.
