Great horn. I bought one years ago for a school I was teaching at in the Uk. I don’t know where it is now! Selmer horns are just the best. Thanks for your video. God bless. Bill. Uk
I have a #13,XXX series Cigar Cutter alto. Bought it in '94 from a guy in Brooklyn. Said he played it during the heyday of the big bands. Had it repadded and played it for 25 years. Now it needs a complete restoration overhaul. Have two new altos. Neither one sounds as sweet as the Cigar Cutter.

Anyone know the song at the end?

Why is it called a cigar cutter?
Because the octave key mechanism resembles a cigar cutter.
