Pre-Owned Henri Selmer (Paris) SA80 Series II Silver-Plated Alto Saxophone

Our Description

Selmer are widely thought of as being the true home of the saxophone; the company bought the workshop of Adolfe Sax (inventor of the saxophone) in 1929, and this was until the early 1980s still one of the company's prime production facilities. Selmer (Paris) saxophones are still handmade in France and remain prestigious and sought-after.

The Series II is an excellent alto with a warm, rich sound, making it great for all types of music, from classic to jazz to pop and rock.
