Selmer Paris - 62HDIR - Series III Alto Sax with Harmonic Key

Description

The Selmer Paris Series III alto is the gold standard in classical saxophones. Its sound is superbly crafted and its ergonomics have been duplicated the world over.

With a brighter and more agile sound than its cousin the Super Action 80, the Selmer Series III 62 alto saxophone is a professional Alto Saxophone that performs well in a variety of performance venues. For the classical saxophonist, the Selmer Series III line offers a large color palette and extreme dynamic range. Jazz players will love the agility and immediate response of the Selmer 62. This alto saxophone will keep up with your most extreme ideas. Reducing the size and weight of the ribs (the body plates supporting the posts) by 30% results in a more free vibration of the instrument and enhanced resonance.

The angle of the neck, copying that of the fabled MARK VI, redirects the airflow and mouthpiece position to enhance response. A harmonic key to the left of the octave key on the body opens an additional pip on the neck which helps achieve altissimo.
Kik pads provide an airtight seal. Rivet-less metal tone boosters result in projection without buzz or distortion.
