SELMER PARIS "Series III" Jubilee Edition Professional Baritone Saxophone - Matte Lacquer

The Series III soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones epitomize speed. Lightning-quick response and flawless ergonomics make these saxophones move; allowing you to perform at the speeds you need in these hyper-fast times. Instead of traditional brass, these saxophones are built on a platform with a slightly higher copper content-creating a rich warm tone that is automatic from the first breath into the instrument.

Brand History:
In 1885 following graduation from the Conservatoire de Paris, Henri Selmer began making reeds, mouthpieces, and clarinets in Paris.  In 1898, Henri’s brother, Alexandre left for the US and began selling clarinets as he toured with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.  These instruments would gain in popularity in Europe and America, winning awards at the 1900 Paris Exhibition and in 1904 St Louis World’s Fair.  In 1905, Henri took over the Barbier Company, a flute maker in Paris. 

Today, Selmer Paris is a leading manufacturer and the choice instrument of clarinet and saxophone professionals around the world.  The instruments continue to be hand-crafted in Paris with the fourth generation of Selmer family members leading the company.
