Woodwinds and Accessories
High Pitch
Conn-Selmer has introduced its Selmer LaVoix CS220 soprano saxophone. This curved model is designed as a mid-priced instrument worthy of the name Selmer. It features yellow brass with clear lacquered keys. A sister model (the CS220B) is available with a black nickel-plated body. The neck opening is aerodynamically tapered to reduce resistance. Keys include a high F#, tear drop shaped front F key spatula for easy reach, and individually mounted left hand palm keys. Other features include an adjustable thumb rest; sculptured key guards with adjustable bumpers; metal pad retainers/boosters on the lower stack and bell keys; tilting Bb and low Eb and C key spatulas; and an articulated low C# adjusting screw. Included are a professional hard rubber mouthpiece with premium Gonzalez reed, Trek-style case, and other accessories.
