Selmer Super Action 80 Series II Baritone Saxophone
The "Series III" baritone is the expression of a new acoustic and technical approach. Its warm voice and generous reveal themselves through several key improvements:
- With UNPARALLELED TUNING balance, its tone colour is remarkably EVEN, including in the extreme registers.
- The sound, rich in overtones and embracing a full range of tonalities, is accessible to all styles of music.
- The reduction in size of several soldered parts (ribs, bow guards...) and changes of the neck have been designd to optimize resonance: the instrument is immediately responsive to the musician's slightest touch, without any loss of energy. It offers increased possibilities with great playing comfort.
Thanks to the outstanding ergonomic design of the "Series III", the volume of baritone no longer seems imposing.
- The general DESIGN is particulary well balanced: pure refined lines, elegant mechanics and perfect keywork alignment.
- Compact keywork and a close grip enables anhanced dexterity and speed approaching that of the alto soxophone: playing through registers is made easy and further facilitated by natural handling.
- The Key clearance is shortened for improved response and more accurate playing.
- Finally, a lighter overall weight and the peg system attached to the bell frees the musician from handling constraints.
With the new "Series III", the baritone finally comes into its own genuine identity. It opens the way to an original repertoire and soloist destiny, following in the path of bass clarinet.
