Selmer have developed effective ways of reducing hand involvement and thus costs in this Axos range, making them more financially approachable for players wanting a high level instrument.
We've found this Axos Alto Sax really does have that classic Selmer sound which is rich, full and powerful. The brass used in Selmer Saxes plays a large part in this sound and resonance and they've really encapsulated this in the Axos.
The keywork layout is intuitive and the intonation is secure from top to bottom. This really is an interesting entry to this area of the market as it competes directly with the Yamaha YAS-62 and Yanagisawa AWO1, time will tell how it compares at this popular price point.

Nice review, any thoughts on the Selmer SAS711 alto sax. I’m torn between these two as they are similarly priced.

What is the different from the serie2 and this on the left pinky finger keys?

[@patrickmaisch1766]

Do you think that the key pressing noise on this instrument ist louder then on the Series II? Or is it just my imagination?
