The Selmer Paris Series II alto
saxophone is the most popular Selmer Paris saxophone in history. The
52JM is identical to the 52JU except that the matte finish with
lacquer keys provides a unique look and warm 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.
