The Selmer Series II is a modern day classic. Suitable for a wide variety of musical genres and playing environments, it's still one of the pro model Tenor's by which we gauge everything else. This particular instrument has benefitted from our Premium Overhaul workshop preparation, please see all the info below.
Made in France in the revered Selmer Paris factory, the Series II has a vibrant and flexible tone with plenty of depth, colour and projection when required. The key layout sits comfortably under most hands, arguably better than the Series III in this regard, and as mentioned above it really is a very versatile instrument that could suit classical or jazz players and everything in-between! This Series II is ideal for advancing players wanting a serious pro horn without breaking the bank.
This instrument has received our Premium Silver Overhaul. This involves a full re-pad and overhal and include the following material upgrades; White Original Roo-pads, Silver Meastro Classic resonators, white felts, silver touchpieces on palm keys, side Bb, C, top E, top F#, Low D# and Low C keys, plus silver plated guards and a silver plated crook key.

The 'Silver' Premium Overhaul features silver trim where possible on the materials used. This may include the choice of pad resonator and any re-touching of silver-plated elements on the instrument.
The 'Silver' Overhaul materials also include white felt sheet and bumpers where relevant to complete the white look. We also use Tech Cork to regulate certain areas of the instrument where it offers the most longevity.
The Original RooPads™ are a pro-grade white coloured Saxophone pad. They are made of a highly uniform and lightweight Kangaroo leather paired with the finest felt from Europe. These pads offer a consistent and positive feel under the fingers combined with excellent water-resistance and longevity.
They look great combined with our ‘All White’ or ‘Silver’ Premium Overhaul specification but can be used on other Premium Set-Up options.
The Music Medic ‘Maestro Star Classic’ resonators offer enhanced resonance when compared to plastic or classic domed resonators due to the unique ridged design of the surface area. The pads on this instrument have been fitted with the Star Classic in Silver Plated Brass.
