The SELMER Axos New Generation Alto Saxophone delivers a rich and balanced sound, thanks to its brass body and precise mechanics. Designed for demanding musicians, it combines professional performance with accessibility for passionate enthusiasts.

The SELMER Axos Alto Saxophone is a quality instrument that combines traditional craftsmanship with new manufacturing technologies.

Made in the factory located in Mantes-la-Ville, France, this saxophone continues the legacy of our brand since 1922.

This Axos model incorporates more industrial processes, such as computer-assisted manufacturing, which allows for great precision in the dimensions of each piece, making production easier and ensuring consistent quality.

However, the aim of making this instrument accessible to as many people as possible has led to the production of the keywork in China, while preserving the French production of the body, neck, and head.

One notable feature of the Axos is its exceptional playing comfort. The keywork has been specially designed to offer optimal ergonomics, allowing musicians to play for long hours without fatigue. In addition, the mechanical reliability of the instrument is ensured through precise adjustments and quality materials.

Acoustically, the SELMER Axos Alto Saxophone stands out with its remarkable sound. With an Eb pitch and leather pads combined with metal resonators, it offers powerful projection, beautiful dynamics, and a rich tonal color.

This instrument is capable of adapting to a wide range of musical styles, whether it's jazz, pop, or classical music. It provides musicians with an expressive sound palette and flexibility to express their creativity.

As for the finish, the SELMER Axos Alto Saxophone features a clear lacquer that allows the brass to shine and maintain its original appearance.

Additionally, it is beautifully engraved, adding an elegant aesthetic touch to the instrument. Despite its many qualities, it's worth mentioning a few points to consider.

Firstly, the case provided with the saxophone could benefit from improvements in terms of functionality to facilitate the storage of maintenance accessories and sheet music. Additionally, some musicians have noted that the keywork of the Axos may feel slightly less robust than that of other SELMER models.

Finally, the original mouthpiece provided with the instrument may require replacement to meet each musician's specific needs.

The SELMER Axos Alto Saxophone embodies the quality and craftsmanship that make our brand renowned. With its meticulous manufacturing, remarkable sound, and exceptional playing comfort, it is an ideal choice for musicians in search of a high-end instrument at an affordable price.
