[Features and Appeal]
The Selmer soprano saxophone's classic long-selling model, Serie II. This straight-type, one-piece neck model has been produced for approximately 40 years.

Many manufacturers offer detachable necks on their higher-end soprano saxophone models, leading to the misconception that "one-piece necks = lower-end models." However, Selmer positions one-piece necks and detachable necks as variations of the same grade. The difference in construction and manufacturing costs is simply reflected in the selling price; it does not mean that the instruments are of different ranks.

The straight-type one-piece neck is appealing for its clear articulation and clear, resonant sound with a smooth, sustained tone. It is suitable for a wide range of genres, from classical to wind band and ensemble playing.

This instrument was manufactured in 1991, making it one of the relatively early models produced for the Series II. While there is some lacquer wear and discoloration due to age, the instrument is in good condition. It has undergone a complete overhaul, including disassembly, internal cleaning, and replacement of all pads, corks, and felts, so you can play it with confidence.

For those who can tolerate the signs of use on the exterior, this is a very attractive instrument, even considering the current new price. This is a highly practical Serie II model, a classic Selmer soprano saxophone that has been loved for many years, and it has been thoroughly serviced.
