This morning I was looking through Flickr, and I happened across some very unusual saxophone photos in Daniel Stover’s, AKA Kasparguy’s, photostream. Someone had customized the hell out of a Selmer Mark VII alto.<\/p>\n

Kasparguy has lots more photos of this horn in a separate album<\/a>. If you want to see how truly customized this Mark VII is, be sure to check out these 40 shots.<\/p>\n

Kasparguy also has another customized Selmer alto in an album<\/a>. This album contains 34 photos. This set is interesting, because there are a number of pics that show a player’s hands on the keys<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It took me a few minutes to figure out what these horns were, but then I realized that these were saxophones that were specially customized for a one-handed player, by technician Jeff Stelling<\/a>. I had written about these custom horns before. In that post, I included a link to the company that does the customizations. If you’d like to find out more about these innovative saxophones, I’d encourage you to check out my article from April 5, 2011<\/a>.<\/p>\n
