Selmer SAS280R La Voix II Intermediate Alto Saxophone
Overview
The Selmer SAS280R La Voix II is an intermediate alto saxophone that benefits from the Selmer name and engineering heritage, delivering a playing experience that significantly exceeds typical step-up instruments. The yellow brass body with clear lacquer finish produces a warm, focused tone that leans toward the classical side of the tonal spectrum, with a smooth, even response across all registers that helps developing players produce a consistent, beautiful sound. The ribbed construction ensures long-term mechanical stability, and the key mechanism is well-designed with adjustable felt bumpers and quality springs that maintain a responsive, comfortable action. The neck design is based on Selmer professional models, which contributes to the instrument's excellent intonation and responsive upper register. The left-hand pinky table is ergonomically designed for comfortable technique, and the tilting B-flat spatula and high F-sharp key are included as standard features. The included mouthpiece is a noticeable improvement over generic student pieces, offering better focus and control. This saxophone is an excellent upgrade for advancing students who aspire to the Selmer sound without the professional model investment. The instrument performs well in concert band and beginning jazz settings alike. The tone, while refined, does not quite capture the complexity and depth of a genuine Selmer Paris instrument.
