Selmer ParisSeries II Model 52 Jubilee Edition Alto Saxophone 52JGP - Gold Plated

The Jubilee Edition saxophones replace Selmer's standard Super Action 80 Series II and Super Action 80 series III saxophones. Jubilee Series instruments are more aesthetically elegant and offer redesigned features that are lighter and more responsive. The Series II Model 52 Jubilee Edition alto saxophone is an update of the most popular Selmer Paris saxophone ever. There is a reason the Series II has been one of, if not, the standard in professional saxophones for a generation. The Super Action 80 Series 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. 125 years of experience have enabled Selmer Paris to create the acoustic and aesthetic alchemy of the saxophone, and become the main architect of its evolution. With the Jubilee Celebration saxophones, Selmer lays the foundation for a new visual identity of the instrument, while keeping intact its sound conception and the creativity of its ergonomics. In keeping with the French jeweler's tradition, the new engraving is thinner thanks to a new outline technique, comes to decorate the bell and the bow, doubled on the bell-to-bow ring by the original signature of the Founder, Henri Selmer. A new lacquer optimizes the quality of the play of light through shades of "gold" tone in the instrument's reflection. The neck key is redesigned through a lighter mechanism and subtly thinner outlines, thus becoming more elegant. In order to fulfill this new visual balance, the geometry of the "S" neck is imperceptibly modernized on a deep blue background even more recognizable. This Series II Model 52 Jubilee Edition alto saxophone includes an S80C mouthpiece.
