  Selmer Series II Alto 403860 Great Playing Condition Great Deal!

  $ 2,950

  You read that price correctly. This is a Selmer Paris Series II alto with great pads for under $3k. Why? It has some lacquer wear, because it plays really well and has been played a reasonable amount. Setup is great, response is great. The low register pops right out no problem. Intonation is great, as you expect with one of these, designed and built for classical saxophone literature.

  Compared to buying a new Selmer Series II, this is much better, because it is literally half price, plus it has better pad work and setup. No past repairs that I see anywhere. And it’s all cleaned, oiled, and feeling dry and snappy under the fingers. If you want to get a great alto that you never have to upgrade, but your budget is on the lower side for a pro sax (relatively speaking), this is hard to beat.

  Selmer Series III Soprano Saxophone Near Mint!

  $ 4,250

  This is a gorgeous, near mint example of a Selmer Paris Series III soprano saxophone. It just got tuned up, and it plays as well as any new Series III, if not better. It tunes beautifully, and the tone is centered, lyrical, and refined. You can play jazz on it, but Selmer designs this to be a classical soprano. It likes to have a Selmer mouthpiece – either an S80 or a Concept. I have a very nice Concept that I can include with the instrument for a big discount if you need a mouthpiece. The keywork feels great, and everything is just nice. So if you want a soprano you can just pick up and play, that is world class and can accomplish whatever you can think of, then check this one! It’s over $2000 off the new price, and it has hardly been played at all since new. Probably has been played less than some new instruments sitting in stores right now! Only one available!

  Selmer Super Action 80 Series 1 Tenor Recent Overhaul 337710

  $ 3,950

  The Selmer Series 1 tenor has the best build quality of any modern Selmer. It has normal pivot screws and is easy to work on and adjust. It also has better pad geometry and lacks the cost-cutting measures that Selmer put into place starting with the Series II and getting more pronounced up to the present.

  It also has arguably the best tone for a lot of players of any modern Selmer. The tone is dark, powerful, and focused, and very ‘Selmer-y’ of course. Meaning, it’s not dark and fat and punchy like a Keilwerth, and it’s not dark and velvety and spread like a Conn, or dark and loud and raucous like a King Zephyr Special. It’s dark and centered and focused and under control, with good intonation and precise scale and definition between notes. It works fine with a range of mouthpieces, unlike a Series II or III which tend to be more mouthpiece-picky. You can play jazz, rock, and commercial music (even, gasp, smooth jazz) on a Series 1 and sound great. I know a lot of folks who pair them with a high baffle piece and use them for smooth jazz and rock and sound great. Crisp, projecting, but still fat in the upper register.

  This one is in nice shape and plays well on the recent overhaul, done for the owner (it’s on consignment) by Peter Lamb at Flying Squirrel Music in Raleigh NC.
