Selmer USA Advanced Alto Saxophone - Copper - SAS511C

The Selmer SAS511 series of intermediate alto saxophones sets a new benchmark for performance at an exceptional value, taking design inspiration directly from the legendary professional Selmer Paris line. This specific copper model features a clear lacquer finish over a rich copper alloy neck and body tube, offering musicians an incredibly deep, dark, and complex tonal profile. Every element is crafted for acoustic excellence, combining a custom hand-adjusted neck with a one-piece, hand-hammered bell to deliver a projecting tone that routinely outperforms instruments twice its price. To ensure absolute precision, Conn-Selmer utilizes a proprietary 3-phase tone hole leveling process, guaranteeing a perfectly flat surface for long-lasting pad seating.

Visually, the saxophone is a work of art, featuring exquisite hand engraving based on the iconic Selmer Paris Mark VI American artwork from Elkhart, Indiana. It feels just as good as it looks, utilizing blue steel needle springs for a light, snappy key action and optimized modern ergonomics to handle demanding technical passages with ease. Premium Pisoni Pro pads with metal resonators ensure a tight seal and crisp projection. Ready for the road, the instrument comes complete with a premium ballistic nylon case equipped with backpack straps, durable handles, a spacious accessory compartment, and a dedicated sheet music pocket. Every single saxophone is professionally set up, play-tested, and fine-tuned by the master technicians at the Conn-Selmer Woodwind Center in Elkhart, Indiana, before it ever reaches your hands.
