125 years have enabled Selmer Paris to create the acoustic and aesthetic alchemy of the saxophone and thus to become the main architect of its evolution. On the occasion of its Jubilee celebration, the brand lays the foundation for a new visual identity of the instrument, while keeping intact its sound conception and the creativity of its ergonomics.
The Selmer Paris Series II alto saxophone is the most popular Selmer Paris saxophone in history. The Series II sopranino, soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, and bass saxophones have been the professional choice for a generation and continue to be the most popular professional saxophone in the world. The reasons are clear: they all possess a flexible but centered tone that is natural in almost any playing situation. Yellow brass body tubes and keys resonate across the entire timbre spectrum: full-ribbed construction enhances their durability. The Series II's superior intonation characteristics make these saxophone a natural choice for any professional or those who aspire to be.
