Advantages: Fine quality, hand made in france, boasting all the quality of selmer's. Deep, rich tone, easy to play and well designed keywork. Disadvantages: It'll set you back a fair bit of money, and some of the intonation could be improved, but thats being really picky, and really it hasn't got many disadvantages!
like as much as the Serie II. Having had the chance to play one of the new reference alto saxes, I do prefer the reference to the Serie II. It seems to have something special and magic about it that you can't quite describe, and everything about it seems perfect. Having said this, however, the Serie II is still one of my favourite saxes, and I play on one and find it a joy to play. Although it is often seen as a more classical horn, I also play a lot of jazz and I find it copes easily with the demands. Overall, the Serie II is yet another fantastic horn by Selmer with a deep rich tone, fairly good intonation (although i still find c#'s a bit of a problem), and well designed keywork. It also has beautiful, yet simple hand engraving, further adding to the stunning quality of this sax. ...
Advantages: Lovely gentle romantic film Disadvantages: None really
times in more recent years. It received a lot of slating at the time of its release and afterwards with the New York Times saying ?The sad news about this movie adaptation is that it functions as a cruel critique of the problems that, for whatever reason, did not seem important in the stage production. This Prelude to a Kiss is not only without charm and wit, but it's also clumsily set forth: many people seeing it may wonder what, in heaven's name, is going on . . . The opened-up film lumbers like someone on crutches. Against the literal surroundings of Chicago, the North Shore and Jamaica, Peter, Rita and the old man become perfunctory characters, interesting only for the bizarre situation in which they are caught. They lack any convincing particularity or idiosyncrasy. The same dialogue that served well enough on the stage now sounds arch ...
Advantages: Incredible tone, easy to play, good intonation - everything you want in a sax! Disadvantages: It's quite pricey - around £2600+
This is without a doubt the nicest altosaxophone that I have ever played, and I have played almost all of the leading saxes, (including 2 Mark VI's, Serie II, Serie III, Keilwerth SX90R, yamaha customs, professional yanagisawas etc.)
This saxophone is my perfect saxophone, and if I could afford one then I would most definitely trade up my Serie II for one! This sax is basically a mark VI, but improved! It has the same classic tone of a mark VI, but it is easier to play, with improved intonation, and also the keys are more responsive and better designed.
This sax is finished in dark lacquer, to try and mimic a vintage look, and it looks spectacular. Selmer have also recently started making a version in an antique matt finish and not engraved, which I don't like as much, but it still looks impressive and sounds great.
