Selmer Paris - 64JDIR - Series III Jubilee Tenor Saxophone

Description

The Selmer Series III saxophones are renowned for their immense ease of flexibility packaged with impeccable tuning and a direct sound often favoured by those leaning more towards the orchestral genres.

The Series III Jubilee tenor saxophone is designed to be an easier instrument to play than its relatives within the Selmer catalogue, and many comparable saxophones on the market. This means the player can more quickly get into the finer nuances of developing their own unique voice on the instrument and be rid of much of the navigation when playing a new instrument.

The Series III is described as having a generous lower register and easy subtones, excellent response, a striking pitch, and balanced ergonomics. This creates a close relationship between musician and instrument resulting in pure musical expressiveness. Designed to be much sleeker inside and out than other Selmer saxophones, the Series III is perfect for those looking for more refined and efficient saxophone experience.

Enhanced Resonance
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.
Mark VI Neck Angle
The angle of the neck, copying that of the fabled Mark VI, redirects the airflow and mouthpiece position to enhance response.

Rivet-less Metal Tone Boosters
Kik pads provide an airtight seal. Rivet-less metal tone boosters result in projection without buzz or distortion.
