Selmer Paris Series III Soprano Saxophone, Gold Lacquer

Full Description

Reach further into the upper register

The Series III expands the traditional soprano saxophone range with a dedicated high G key. This additional note gives you more freedom when performing demanding repertoire, exploring contemporary music, or tackling passages that extend beyond a standard soprano range. Combined with the instrument’s responsive design, the upper register remains accessible and controlled, helping you move confidently between registers. Whether you're performing solo, in an ensemble, or in a studio setting, the extended range opens up additional musical possibilities without changing your familiar playing approach.

Choose the setup that suits you

Included straight and curved necks allow you to tailor the instrument to your preferences. The straight neck offers a traditional soprano playing experience, while the curved neck provides an alternative feel and can influence the instrument's tonal response. Switching between the two is straightforward, making it easier to adapt to different performance environments or personal comfort requirements. This flexibility is especially useful for players who spend long periods practising or performing and want more control over their playing position and overall setup.

Comfortable design for longer sessions

Soprano saxophones can feel quite different from larger saxes, but the Series III is designed with comfort in mind. Its ergonomic key layout provides a playing experience similar to an alto saxophone, helping the instrument feel familiar in the hands. Multidirectional metal thumb rests support natural hand positioning, while mother-of-pearl key touches offer a comfortable contact point throughout extended use. Together, these features help reduce unnecessary strain and encourage a more relaxed playing experience across rehearsals, lessons, and performances.

Built with Selmer Paris craftsmanship

Manufactured in France, the Series III reflects Selmer Paris' fully integrated production process, where quality control remains closely managed throughout every stage of construction. The instrument combines traditional manufacturing expertise with modern production techniques, resulting in precise assembly across its many components. Leather pads with metal resonators contribute to dependable performance, while the gold lacquer finish provides a classic appearance. Supplied with a comprehensive accessory package, including an S80 C* mouthpiece and lightweight case, it offers everything needed to get started straight away.
