Selmer Paris Design With Premium Materials

The neck is hand-adjusted for optimal alignment and the body is made from premium brass for a rich, colorful tone. You can choose from four beautiful lacquer and plating finishes like black nickel or gold lacquer. The SAS511 sports ornate engraving inspired by the Selmer Paris Mark VI too. All these details give you the professional Selmer Paris vibe in an intermediate instrument.
