All of these saxophones have their individual attributes which many saxophonists from all styles love. The next best Selmers are respectively SAS280 La Voix II ( Alto), STS280 La Voix II ( Tenor), Paris Reference 54 (Alto), AS42 (Alto), Paris Reference 54 (Tenor), and Paris 52JU (Alto). ThatвЂ™s how it goes, right?), but if I had to make a guessвЂ¦ So, will you be buying one? I donвЂ™t want to limit you as I donвЂ™t know you and IвЂ™m not one to make assumptions (lest I make an a** of me and umptions. They are no longer in production (1954-74) yet are still so revered that they scarcely sell for less than $10k and sometimes go for as much as $40k! No, it ran so far and fast that todayвЂ™s saxophones eat its dust and whine that the Mark VI must be on performance-enhancing drugs. It didnвЂ™t walk so todayвЂ™s saxophones could run. The Selmer Mark VI is the most revered (and, by the same token, controversial) saxophone to have, Selmer or not. But Selmer is highly regarded as the best saxophone manufacturer so here we are.ДЄnd while I have not been economically fortunate to buy ALL THE SELMER SAXOPHONES*, I have had the pleasure of annoying many a music store employee by asking to just вЂtry out the Selmer XXвЂ™ and leave with promises of coming back to buy it. Okay, so a new saxophone isnвЂ™t going to fix your lack of talent, I know. I knew that day that the Yamaha had failed me and vowed to redeem myself through a Selmer. The ghost of Kenny moaned in secondhand embarrassment.

My time came to shine and I played a piece on my saxophone to show the children the wonder of the saxophoneвЂ¦except I flubbed it. When I was in high school, I repaid the favor and visited those students with my Yamaha saxophone. Kenny fell in the initial chargeвЂ¦.he would never get back upвЂ¦the horrorвЂ¦Anyways! рџ™‚ The assembly room was a cacophony of yells, percussion, and sobs. The trombonist assisted, using their slide as a boomerang of sorts, shifting from 1st to 7th and back again. The drummer and instructor beat us back with drumsticks and mallets. Lips were licked, the edges of chairs gripped, pupils dilatedвЂ¦I donвЂ™t remember who charged first, but a wall of children followed. The fingers of children, who were overcome by a primeval urge to вЂmake sound by smash,вЂ™ began to furl and unfurl greedily. As would be expected, every child wanted to play the drums as visions of sugar plum rockers filled our little heads.

In 4th grade, high school students and one of the music instructors visited us in our assembly room to introduce us to the variety of instruments that we could choose from to play in the school band the next year.Д®ach instrument had a short introduction by the instructor followed by a short piece played by the student.
