If you’re in the market for a superb professional soprano saxophone, the Selmer Paris Model 51 Series II Jubilee Edition soprano has what it takes to go the distance in your career and nurture your growth as an artist.Flawless ergonomics, impressive versatility Flawless playability is a hallmark of Henri Selmer Paris saxophones. To that end, the Series II Model 51 Jubilee Edition soprano is handcrafted with pristine keywork featuring compact key positioning that’s closer to the body and directly under the hand to facilitate economy of motion and confident fingering during challenging passages. Versatility is one of the attributes of a great professional saxophone, and the Series II soprano is a stellar example, providing a primed canvas for forging your signature sound. Saxophonists who play both classical and jazz, for instance, can choose an appropriate mouthpiece and reed to customize their horn for the music at hand. However you set it up, the Series II soprano delivers a fluency of tone with a crisp transition between notes. The instrument’s solid tonal core and sweetly lyrical, beautifully emotive voice owes much to the Selmer’s modified post-to-rib body construction.The benefits of ribbed body construction Integrating the multiple key posts into a single plate, ribbed body construction gives the tube higher mass (and hence more rigidity and durability), and requires somewhat more effort from the player. The Series II Model 51 soprano employs a proprietary modification of this principle, so-called “mini ribs,” that makes the horn blow with lighter resistance than fully ribbed designs. This gives you the best of both worlds: a solid fundamental with rich tonal color along with the speed required to execute difficult passages. For experienced saxophonists with a more developed embouchure and sound concept, a free-blowing tube with moderate resistance provides a definite advantage. Although this type of construction typically presents a slightly increased initial resistance, it effectively gives you another level of resonance — an extra “gear,” if you will — to blow through for additional dynamic range and expression. Simply put, you can push your Series II soprano further, and it will go exactly where you want it to go.Handcrafted in France Honoring the Henri Selmer Paris tradition of old-world craftsmanship, the Series II Model 51 Jubilee Edition soprano sax benefits from premium materials and proprietary construction techniques developed over Selmer’s century-plus of wind instrument design expertise. This exceptional professional horn incorporates performance-enhancing details like specially treated kid leather pads with metal resonators that provide a leak-free, airtight fit while delivering a big, bright, and assertive tone that brings your notes to life. Not surprisingly, considering it comes from the company that perfected the modern saxophone, the Model 51 offers superior ergonomics and playability, crisp intonation, and rich, precise sound that reflects every expressive nuance of your playing. It’s equally at home in jazz, classical, fusion, and pop settings, and it will elevate your technique and unlock new worlds of musical expression.The Selmer legacy of quality and innovation As all modern saxophone designs are based on the Selmer platform, it’s instructive to take a look at the company’s history to understand its considerable influence on the instrument as we know it today. Conservatory-trained clarinetist Henri Selmer founded Henri Selmer Paris in 1885. Fashioning reeds and mouthpieces in his small workshop, he soon took on instrument repair and modifications, which eventually let to the design and manufacture of clarinets. In 1900, Selmer opened a retail shop in New York (the beginnings of Selmer USA). In 1922, Selmer introduced its first saxophone: the Model 22. In the ensuing decades, Selmer released industry-leading designs such as the Balanced Action, Super Action, Mark VI, and Reference 54, which have set the standard for what a modern saxophone should be. Listen to any iconic jazz recording by John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Paul Desmond, (late period) Cannonball Adderley, Wayne Shorter, Michael Brecker, Branford Marsalis, or Joshua Redman, and you will hear one of these legendary horns in action. Delivering exceptional value at every level, from student to professional, Selmer USA and Henri Selmer Paris offer a full line of woodwind and brass instruments.
