The Selmer AS600 Aristocrat Alto Saxophone is a trusted favorite among school band directors and beginner saxophonists. This particular instrument has been professionally set up, adjusted, and play-tested by our expert repair technicians right here at Spotts Music Center—so it’s 100% ready to play when it reaches you. We believe in “Helping you make music!”—and that means offering quality instruments that perform beautifully from the very first note.
Features & Advantages
- Professional setup included: Each saxophone is fully adjusted, pads seated, corks checked, and keys regulated by our in-house brass and woodwind technicians before it leaves the shop.
- Clear-lacquer brass body with nickel-plated keys: Gives the instrument a bright, classic tone and increased resistance to wear—ideal for students.
- High F# key and rocking table-key mechanism: Provides extended range and smoother transitions for young players learning advanced fingerings.
- Comfortable, responsive key action: Light spring tension and consistent feel across the range make the AS600 a joy to play for beginners and advancing students alike.
- Durable student design: Built to withstand daily school use, rehearsals, and performances without compromising sound or intonation.
- Complete outfit: Includes a mouthpiece, ligature, neck strap, and protective hard case—everything a new player needs to get started.
Benefits for You
With the AS600, you’re not just getting a saxophone—you’re getting confidence. Each horn sold by Spotts Music Center is play-tested and guaranteed to perform at its best. The high-F# key gives students access to advanced notes used in concert literature, while the balanced key action and smooth response help new players develop proper technique faster. And with our professional setup, you can trust it’s ready to play straight out of the case—no extra repairs or adjustments needed.
Why It Stands Out
Many entry-level saxophones are sold right out of the box without any setup, meaning leaks or pad misalignments can hold players back. At Spotts Music Center, every AS600 we sell has been professionally adjusted for airtight pad seals, correct spring tension, and precise key alignment. That means you’ll get easy low-note response, accurate intonation, and a warm, balanced tone from day one.
