The Selmer Paris Series II soprano is
the sweetest sounding one-piece on the market. Even tone and a clean
upper register are the hallmarks of this soprano. The 51JS is
identical to the 51J, except that the silver plate provides a unique
look and brighter tone. The Series II sopranino, soprano, alto,
tenor, baritone, and bass saxophones have been the professional
choice for a generation and continue to be the most popular
professional saxophone in the world. The reasons are clear: they all
possess a flexible but centered tone that is natural in almost any
playing situation. Yellow brass body tubes and keys resonate across
the entire timbre spectrum: full-ribbed construction enhances their
durability. The Series’ superior intonation characteristics make
these saxophone a natural choice for any professional or those who
aspire to be.
