DESCRIPTION
The Selmer AS300 Alto Saxophone is a well-regarded student-level instrument designed for beginning and advancing players who require durability, consistency, and a refined tonal foundation. Notably, the AS300 holds historical significance as the final student-line saxophone manufactured in the United States by Selmer, produced in Elkhart, Indiana.
Built with robust materials and thoughtful ergonomics, the AS300 delivers reliable playability and a rich, focused tone that supports proper tone development. Its solid construction allows it to withstand the demands of school band programs while maintaining Selmer’s reputation for sound quality and mechanical reliability. As a result, the AS300 remains highly valued on the pre-owned market and is often favored over later import student models.
Our featured product was Made in the USA approximately in the Mid-2000s with a serial number of 13411XX. There are slight feather scratches throughout the main body of the Alto Saxophone; however, there are no dings, pings or dents on the instrument. Some visible metal scratches are detected on the bow of the saxophone.
Our technician has adjusted the Alto Saxophone for General Playing Conditions and it is ready for the next player to take over the reins. This package includes the original Hard-shell Case and Mouthpiece. Whether you are just beginning or in need of a solid-made USA sax-this is the one for you…
