Selmer S80 Series III Alto Saxophone

Overall a truly incredible instrument ideal for any advanced or professional player. Engraved bell shows very little wear. Absolutely fabulous playing condition. All the leather pads with metal resonators seal perfectly. High F sharp key. Original Selmer shaped case in great condition. No mouthpiece.

The Selmer website states.

The “Series III” alto saxophone is part of the “Selmer sound” tradition: open and centred, it offers the musician pure playing pleasure. Capable of responding to the slightest inflection of breath, it allows each person the chance to express oneself in complete freedom.

Perfectly balanced overall tuning (octave ratios) and a remarkably staged upper register, with the double C sharp mechanism, are compelling features of the "Series III". Its acoustic, mechanical and ergonomic qualities make it a first-class instrument, one that is superbly suited to the needs and uses of our time.

Made up of more than 600 parts for the alto, the saxophone is a particularly complex instrument. At Henri SELMER Paris, the production line is completely integrated enabling both better control of the quality and of the supply process.

In our workshops located in Mantes-la-Ville since 1919, nearly 500 craftspeople mobilise a traditional, unique and authentic know-how, combining high technology with the respect of the artisanal instrument manufacturing.
