Built-in the spirit of great accessibility for the saxophonist, the extension to create the tenor version of the Axos saxophone came naturally. As an entry-level professional saxophone, it has the same qualities as other Henri Selmer Paris saxophones including great flexibility, accuracy, and projection. Its great ease of playing and rich timbre makes it an ideal instrument, whatever the level of playing, both as a soloist and in ensemble performance. The fingers rest naturally on its strong, durable, and ergonomically comfortable keywork. The warm lacquer shade and the finesse of its engraving are the hallmarks of a great tenor saxophone.
