Selmer AS250
Selmer AS250 Description:
The Selmer LaVie instruments offer unique sound and response qualities, due to the design and the types of materials and metals chosen. The new Selmer LaVie Series has been designed for players that enjoy delivering a unique sound that solos beautifully, but also blends well within the section.
The Selmer LaVie models AS250 alto and TS250 tenor saxophones feature a yellow brass bell mounted on a bronze body with a bronze neck that delivers a dark, rich sound. A traditional Selmer-size bell flare centers and focuses the sound, not allowing it to get too broad. The Selmer models AS240 and TS240 features a red brass body and neck with a yellow brass bell for a warm sound, but slightly brighter than the bronze models.
All Selmer LaVie models feature high F# and high G keys for better control of these often-challenging notes. On the low end, double cup arms on the low B, Bb and C helps to maintain adjustment and regulation, a frequent problem on lesser instruments. All outfits include a genuine BAM Trek-style case, a professional level mouthpiece and accessories.
The new Selmer LaVie series joins the legendary Selmer (Paris) saxophone models and the recently introduced Selmer LaVoix line of intermediate models. The new models provide players a high-performance Selmer option for those unable to reach the famed Selmer Paris level of instruments.
Ideal for jazz or legit players, the Selmer AS250 La Vie Alto Saxophone features a tapered bell diameter that offers the player greater focus and depth of sound. Adding to this unique sound, the AS240 La Vie combines the warmth of a red brass neck, body, and bow with the brilliance of a yellow brass bell for a balanced tonal palette.
A tapered and proportioned bell diameter focuses and centers the sound, making the La Vie perfect for jazz or classical styles. The 250 Series (AS250 alto, TS250 tenor) combines the warmth of a red brass Neck, body, and bow with the brilliance of a yellow brass bell for a balanced tonal palette.

Selmer La Vie saxophones incorporate many unique design concepts. The high G key extends the natural range of the instrument and tames this treacherous note. Right-hand section adjusting screws simplify the adjustment and regulation process. Double cup arms on low C, B, and Bb stabilize these large keys to maintain an accurate pad seat on the tone hole chimney rims. All La Vie saxophones include a deluxe BAM Trek-style case and a professional hard rubber mouthpiece.
