Testimonials

This professional saxophone offers a balance between the best Selmer sound quality and the most affordable market prices, while maintaining its mechanical and acoustic qualities. Its ease of emission in all registers is amazing!

Antonio Felipe Belijar

It's a tube that sounds monstrously good. I need a powerful sound, a brilliance, and it gives it to me.

John Brenner

Axos has totally won me over ! It is easy to play in the low register and has an especially full and round sound in the middle register. All this while keeping SELMER’s trademark : richness, sound and projection.

Claude Delangle

Axos puts out what I put into it! It gets a very good and powerful sound. It takes whatever you can give it. It’s got a good fat sound!

John Helliwell

Great consistency, sound breadth, ergonomics… it is very pleasant. At the same time, the personality of the sound remains, which is characteristic of Henri SELMER Paris.
