Common Questions About the Selmer SBS711

How does the SBS711 differ from a Selmer Paris baritone saxophone?

The SBS711 is a distinct Selmer professional model made in Taiwan. It incorporates a Selmer Paris neck and professional features including low A, high F#, an adjustable metal thumbrest, and ribbed construction, but it is separate from the French-made Selmer Paris Series II and Series III lines.

What do the low A range and high F# key add?

Low A provides the extended lower range commonly required in modern big band, concert band, pit, and commercial writing. The high F# key offers a dedicated fingering option in the upper register.

What is post-to-rib-to-body construction?

This construction mounts groups of key posts to reinforcing ribs attached to the body. It is primarily a structural approach intended to support keywork stability and distribute mechanical stress across the instrument body.
