The Selmer Paris Axos Tenor Saxophone forms part of a new more affordable range from the highly reputable French manufacturer. Designed for the advancing and upgrading player the Selmer Axos range captures some of the magic of the Selmer sound and feel but at a more approachable price than their top-end Signature and Supreme series.
Selmer have developed effective ways of reducing hand involvement and thus costs in this Axos range, making them more financially approachable for players wanting a high level instrument.
We've found this Axos Tenor Sax introduces players to that classic Selmer sound which is rich, full and powerful. The brass used in Selmer Saxes plays a large part in this sound and resonance and they've really encapsulated this in the Axos Tenor Sax.
The keywork layout is intuitive and the intonation is secure from top to bottom. This really is an interesting entry to this area of the market as it competes directly with the Yamaha YTS-62 and Yanagisawa TWO1, time will tell how it compares at this popular price point.
We have a variety of testing environments instore for customers to experience and enjoy. Our range of testing rooms are available to pre-book and we can even reserve stock in advance so if you're making a jouney to see us we can be prepared to make it a special experience for you.

Smooth to play; responds well. Neck is loose though - swivels unwontedly, despite being tightened with the relevant screw.
I'm assuming 5 star as the tenor sax is now with my granddaughter! I'll get back to you if she has any comments that would assist you.
