Selmer Paris Series III Alto Saxophone

The SERIES III Alto saxophone goes on writing the story of the Selmer Sound : free and centered, the instrument offers excellent playability. It responds to the slightest breath or tongue modulation so that you can really express your personality.  Some new features such as the double C# mechanism help create stable overall tuning and a well-balanced high register.





WHAT WE SAY
" The Series 3 alto is a fantastic instrument. It is so easy to play and really sings!! You can just relax into this instrument and like a good sports car almost drives itself!!! All the keys are in the right place and it sits very comfortably in the hands. Like the Series 2 it is a solid instrument and projection is wonderful. If you want a sax at this price then the Series 3 is the one!

You may remember me. I came in a month ago on a Saturday about a Selmer  alto. Well I came back today and settled for a Series 3. It is superb and I look forward to a lot of fun. I’m sorry I missed you but I was well looked after by Jim Cheek who was extremely helpful and would seem to be a damn good player himself. It was like being in Saxophone heaven and I am so glad to have found your wonderful establishment. Best wishes, Wally Houser

I would like to thank you for suggesting me the flat matte saxophone, it is a very wonderful instrument. I received it last week after 3 only days confirmation. You are really doing a great job. I will recommend it to my others fellows. Thanks again. Regards, Yohanes (Singapore)

first of all, let me tell you that I'm extremely happy! My saxophone arrived intact last Friday (after 4 working days of placing my order). I have nothing to say about the instrument. Selmer Serie III sells itself.  No words can describe it's beauty and sound! It was worth waiting for the  flat matte. Overall I'm very satisfied with my buying experience and will definitely  recommend your services. Please feel free to post my comments if you want  and to make my e-mail available to your customers. Thank you very much - you've earned my "word of mouth" (for what it's worth)  and my customer loyalty! Cheers, Gian

I just wanted to say that I've had the Selmer 3 since just before Christmas and it's absolutely terrific. It's like driving an MG -- powerful but classy --and it makes my puffing and wheezing sound almost professional. It certainly inspires me to practice! I'm just wondering if I really need a tenor now just to keep it company.... Thanks Julian Pattison Wolverhampton

My matte finish Series III sax arrived on Friday in perfect condition. It plays beautifully, and is so much easier to blow through than my old saxophone. The matte finish is awesome. Thanks for always keeping tabs on my order and with Selmer, and for providing me with such a great saxophone!!!!!  Thanks!  Gary's daughter

I am just now getting the chance to tell you how much I love my sax! And thanks to the very low price, I have paid it all back already! It's a beautiful horn with a beautiful sound! I played my first improv solo on it, and I was so excited. Thanks also for all of the great customer service. Thanks again, Jeanene Ioppolo (Selmer Series III alto)

Selmer Series III sax arrived on Friday, four days after order and fund confirmation. Thank you for your excellent service. My teacher comments "Don't let it out of your sight".  Marius Combrink, (South Africa)

"You guys have the BEST prices I've EVER seen!! Unfortunately, I just WASTED $3100 on a Series III alto here in the states, and I wanted to get a tenor also. But, unlike in your store, the price for a Series III tenor here is WAAAAAY to high." - Andrew

There is a web site for sax chat, (http://boards.eesite.com/board.cgi? boardset=saxweb), and after I finally purchase, I will inundate them with my satisfaction of your service, just as a few others did that purchased from you. Actually their responses to your good service got me very interested.  Again, Thanks Phil, Scottsdale, AZ
