The right balance between richness of tone and ease of response Designed and manufactured in our workshops in Mantes-la-Ville, the care taken in the manufacture of the Axos tenor by our craftsmen shows the same level of demand and know-how as its predecessors. As an entry-level professional saxophone, it has the same qualities of great flexibility, accuracy and projection as the other Henri SELMER Paris saxophones. Its great ease of playing and rich timbre make it an ideal instrument to "tame" the tenor, whatever the level of playing. The simplified neck fitting and the special pads amplify this ease of response. The fingers rest naturally on its strong, durable, and ergonomically comfortable keywork. The warm lacquer shade and the finesse of its engraving are the hallmarks of a great tenor. Comes with AXOS case, S80 C* mouthpiece, Gold Ligature and Cap, Strap, and Swab!
