An elegant workhorse with a hug sound!

The Henri Selmer Paris Series II Model 55AF Jubilee Edition Baritone Saxophone. This professional baritone saxophone is crafted to exacting standards by Selmer Paris, whose instruments have been the choice of discerning musicians for generations. The Model 55AF Jubilee Edition baritone saxophone delivers a robust, muscular tone with spot-on intonation across its extended range. Equipped with a low A and high F# key, this baritone saxophone flexes its broad timbre over a wider scope, making it ideal for jazz combos and big bands as well as classical, funk and pop.

Fully Ribbed Yellow Brass Construction Provides Powerful Resonance
The Series II Model 55AF Jubilee Edition baritone saxophone features premium yellow brass for the body and neck, which provides superior resonance and projection. Its fully ribbed construction further enhances the instrument's tonal qualities. The treated leather pads, metal resonators, blued steel springs and stunning Jubilee engraving are built to exacting standards, delivering excellent response, intonation and beauty.

Extended Range Covers Low A to High F#
With its low A and high F# keys, the Series II Model 55AF Jubilee Edition baritone saxophone provides a wider range than most baritone saxophones. This extended scope allows performers to explore a broader tonal palette and push creative boundaries. The low A key in particular produces a throaty, powerful tone in the saxophone's lower register.

Ergonomic Keywork Promotes Fluid Technique
The Series II Model 55AF Jubilee Edition baritone saxophone features an ergonomic key layout that feels natural under the fingers. Its fluid key action facilitates rapid passages and effortless fingering transitions across the range of the instrument. The key cups are shaped for comfortable hand position and the bell keys have been repositioned to prevent accidental engaugement.

Premium Accessories Complete the Package
This professional baritone saxophone comes with a deluxe hard shell case for safe transport and storage. A mouthpiece, reed and care products are also included to get you playing right out of the box.
