Selmer Paris Series III 53B Soprano Saxophone Black Laquer Finish
Design concepts for Selmer (Paris) saxophones anticipate the future and embrace the past. Computer-controlled manufacturing technology blends with Old World craftsmanship in fabricating each and every Selmer saxophone. The differences between each Series are subtle yet profound. The unique size and shape of each Selmer saxophone model's bore colors its sound, lending a distinctive voice. Placement of keys ergonomically accommodates the musician's hands to facilitate technique.
