The Henri Selmer company of Paris has introduced the third issue of its limited edition Bird Series of professional saxophones. This special 2007 issue features exquisite engraving that highlights the Flamingo of Africa.
This latest release is the third in a five-year adventure honoring each of the continents by depicting a native bird in highly detailed hand crafted engraving on its new Reference Series saxophones. Last year’s edition featured the Kookaburra bird of Australia. Previously the Hummingbird of the North American continent was honored.
The latest Selmer Paris “bird” alto saxophone models are based on the popular Reference 54 Series saxophones, capturing the essence of the famous Mark VI instruments made in the 1950s and 1960s. |
