Common Questions About the Selmer SBS511S
How does the SBS511S differ from the SBS511?
The SBS511S is the silver-plated version of the SBS511. The core body design and key range are shared, while the SBS511S provides a silver-plated exterior rather than the standard finish.
Does the SBS511S extend to low A?
Yes. The SBS511S extends to low A and includes a high F# key, giving it the range expected for modern baritone saxophone ensemble literature.
What is post-to-rib-to-body construction?
Post-to-rib-to-body construction distributes key-post support across reinforcing ribs and the body. On a large instrument such as a baritone saxophone, this design promotes mechanical stability, and the SBS511S also uses double bracing around its extended low-key mechanism.
