Common Questions About the Selmer SAS511
How does the SAS511 fit within Selmer's alto saxophone lineup?
Selmer lists the SAS511 in its advanced range, above its student and premium educational models and below the Selmer Paris professional line. It is intended as a step-up instrument for musicians developing mature technique and ensemble experience.
What is the benefit of post-to-rib-to-body construction?
Post-to-rib-to-body construction mounts groups of key posts on reinforcing ribs attached to the body. Its primary practical benefit is a substantial structural platform for the keywork and a solid mechanical feel under the hands.
What does the high F# key add?
The high F# key provides a dedicated fingering for that upper-register note. It supports modern technique and is useful in advanced concert, jazz, and solo repertoire.
