Selmer Paris Super Action 80 Serie III Soprano Saxophone
The Selmer Paris Super Action 80 Serie III Soprano Saxophone is a highly regarded professional instrument, known for its exceptional intonation, quick response, rich and rounded tone, and ergonomic keywork that makes it a favorite among classical, jazz, and contemporary players.
This particular example, serial number 586xxx, falls within the early production run of the Serie III soprano (which began around 1996 with serials in the 537xxx range and continued through the late 1990s and beyond). Based on serial charts from Selmer resources and saxophone databases, this places the horn in the late 1990s (likely around 1998–1999, as serials progressed from ~563xxx in 1998 to ~579xxx–595xxx in 1999 for that era).

Condition highlights:
• Overall very good shape, with solid mechanical function and playability expected from this premium model.
• Some pitting in a few spots — detailed in pics- and some other minor surface defects – common on these gold-lacquered instruments after years of use, adding to the vintage character without affecting performance.
• Includes two necks (straight and curved), a signature feature of the Serie III soprano that allows players to choose between a brighter, more focused sound (straight) or a warmer, mellower tone (curved).
• Range extends to high G, with excellent tuning stability and a double C# mechanism for better high-register balance.
• No mouthpiece included (buyer can pair it with their preferred option, such as a Selmer S80 C* or similar).
This is a French-made professional-grade soprano with the classic Selmer engraving and build quality — responsive, versatile, and capable of beautiful expressiveness across genres. Perfect for someone seeking a reliable, high-end Serie III without the premium price of a brand-new example.
