Selmer STS511B Tenor Saxophone
A Selmer STS511B is an intermediate Bb tenor saxophone built to deliver professional-style response and tonal complexity at a practical price point. It is designed for advancing players who want a Selmer feel and sound concept without stepping into a full pro-line instrument. The STS511 series is known for an unusually complex, centered tone for its category, supported by a hand-adjusted neck and a one-piece, hand-hammered bell. This example is finished in black lacquer with Mark VI American-inspired engraving and has been set up and is ready to play.
In performance, the STS511B offers a clear core with layered overtones, making it adaptable for concert band, jazz ensemble, pit orchestra, and studio work where intonation stability and consistent response matter. The proprietary 3-phase tone hole leveling process supports reliable pad seating over time, and Pisoni Pro pads help maintain a secure seal for clean attacks and controlled soft playing. Blue steel needle springs contribute to a light, fast key action, while the adjustable thumb rest and updated ergonomics support long rehearsals and demanding technical passages. The one-piece, hand-hammered bell helps projection and focus, especially in ensemble settings where you need the tenor to speak without forcing. Ideal for advanced students, serious adult players, and doublers seeking a dependable tenor with Selmer-style handling and a refined, complex tonal palette.
