Premium Design Meets Professional Playability
The Selmer SAS711M is built for the serious saxophonist. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Henri Selmer Paris Neck & Mouthpiece: Designed and crafted in France, these components enhance tonal richness, response, and pitch accuracy. They are tailored to meet the needs of an advancing musician looking for consistency and control.
- Matte Finish on Yellow Brass: The matte lacquer over yellow brass gives this saxophone a visually striking look and a warm, resonant tone. Other available finishes include clear lacquer and black nickel, offering aesthetic and tonal variety.
- Extended Range & Vibrational Stability: The inclusion of a high F# key expands the playable range. The F vibration dampening bar further enhances low-register stability, minimizing any unwanted sympathetic vibrations.
- Post-to-Rib-to-Body Construction: This feature improves structural integrity, protects the instrument during normal wear, and contributes to a deeper, more resonant sound across all registers.
