Well according to <a href=\"http:\/\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/baryton-ang-031.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Selmer&#8217;s\u00a0glossy, new brochure on the sax<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Series III baritone is the expression of a new acoustic and technical approach. Its warm voice and generous personality reveal themselves through several key improvements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>With unparalleled tuning balance, its tone colour is remarkably even, including in the extreme registers.<\/li>\n<li>The sound, rich in overtones and embracing a full range of tonalities, is accessible to all styles of music.<\/li>\n<li>The reduction in size of several soldered parts (ribs, bow guards&#8230;) and changes to the neck have been designed to optimize resonance:the instrument is immediately responsive to the musician&#8217;s slightest touch, without any loss of energy. It offers increased possibilities with great playing comfort.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thanks to the outstanding ergonomic design of the Series III, the volume of the baritone no longer seems imposing.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The general design is particularly well balanced: pure refined lines, elegant mechanics and perfect keywork alignment.<\/li>\n<li>Compact keywork and a close grip enables enhanced dexterity and velocity approaching that of the alto saxophone: playing through registers is made easy and further facilitated by natural handling.<\/li>\n<li>The key clearance is shortened for improved response and more accurate playing.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, a lighter overall weight and the peg system attached to the bell frees the musician from handling constraints.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-1749\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/selmer-series-iii-bari.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1749\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/selmer-series-iii-bari\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/selmer-series-iii-bari.jpg?fit=950%2C557&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"950,557\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"selmer-series-iii-bari\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/selmer-series-iii-bari.jpg?fit=520%2C305&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1749\" title=\"selmer-series-iii-bari\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/selmer-series-iii-bari.jpg?resize=510%2C303\" alt=\"selmer-series-iii-bari\" width=\"510\" height=\"303\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h6>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Source: Dave Kessler<\/h6>\n<p>According to the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kesslermusic.com\/SelmerLeblanc\/66af.htm\" target=\"_blank\"> Kessler &amp; Son&#8217;s website<\/a>, the Selmer Series III baritone&#8217;s specs are as follows:<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"608\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\"><strong>Country of Origin<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">France<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\"><strong>Body Material<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">Brass<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\"><strong>Body Construction<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">Partial &#8220;Split Rib&#8221; Body Construction<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\"><strong>Range<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">Low A to High F#<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\"><strong>Finish<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">Clear Lacquer<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\"><strong>Springs<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">Professional Steel Needle<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\"><strong>Pads<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">Professional Leather<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\"><strong>Resonators<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">Domed Metal without rivet<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\"><strong>Engraving<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">Hand Engraved<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\"><strong>Pearls<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">Mother of Pearl<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\"><strong>Mouthpiece<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">Selmer S80 C** with Selmer Ligature &amp; Cap<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\"><strong>Case<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">Form Fitted with wheels<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\"><strong>Setup<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">Professional level setup performed by Chuck Kessler prior to shipping.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"154\"><strong>Warranty<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">5 Year covering defects in workmanship &amp; material<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Dave Kessler has taken many photos of the new horn, and also of its unique case. You can see them all on Kessler &amp; Son&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kesslermusic.com\/SelmerLeblanc\/66af.htm\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A number of months ago, Dave Kessler wrote a blog article about the new Series III baritone. In case you missed it, <a href=\"http:\/\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/?p=1827\" target=\"_self\">you can find it here<\/a>. In the piece, Dave discussed the features the sax has, and his view on both their strengths and limitations.\u00a0The article\u00a0is an interesting read.<\/p>\n<p>If you are curious what players are actually saying about the sax, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.saxontheweb.net\/vbulletin\/showthread.php?t=109942\" target=\"_blank\">a thread was recently started on SOTW<\/a>. To date, this is the only player&#8217;s review I&#8217;ve seen, and it is only from 1 player. Until we get more bari players trying the sax, and writing their thoughts about the horn, we won&#8217;t really have much to go on, other than Selmer&#8217;s advertising hype.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I think it&#8217;s exciting that the Series III is finally here.\u00a0I would just like to read some impartial, non-biased players&#8217; reviews about said saxophone. I also personally can&#8217;t see myself dropping 10K on a horn, let alone one that I wouldn&#8217;t have the opportunity to play test before I buy, and one that I can&#8217;t read reviews on before ordering.<\/p>\n<p>Actually here in Canada, it&#8217;s going to cost players more then $10,000. I&#8217;m going to Long &amp; McQuade tomorrow, and they&#8217;re an authorized Selmer dealer, so\u00a0I&#8217;ll ask them what the Canadian price is for the Series III.\u00a0I&#8217;ll just make sure to someone standing behind me in case I faint at the price.\u00a0 <a rel=\"attachment wp-att-4865\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/winking0007.gif\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4865\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/2024\/aftermarket-replacement-jk-angelwings\/winking0007-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/winking0007.gif?fit=15%2C15&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"15,15\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"winking0007\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/winking0007.gif?fit=15%2C15&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4865\" title=\"winking0007\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/winking0007.gif?resize=15%2C15\" alt=\"winking0007\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" \/><\/a>\u00a0If, and this is a big if, it&#8217;s in their computer system already, I suspect it will be around the $12,500 Cdn mark. (That is if they offer it\u00a0a &#8220;sale price&#8221;, and don&#8217;t go with the MSRP.)<\/p>\n<p>Choices are always a good thing. I chose my Mark VI over a Series II baritone, but if the Series III had been available 10 years ago already, perhaps I might have chosen differently&#8230; Who knows&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I know if I lived closer to Las Vegas, I&#8217;d be taking a trip to Dave&#8217;s family&#8217;s store, and trying the Series III out for myself. Unfortunately, I suspect it will be a long time before we see a Model 66AF bari in this neck of the woods.<\/p>\n<p>BTW, re: the price, I was surprised to see that the Series III wasn&#8217;t the most expensive baritone out there. As I was looking at the Kessler website, I saw the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kesslermusic.com\/html\/keilwerth.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Keilwerth Shadow bari<\/a>, Model JK4411-5B2-0, was priced at $10,549. That&#8217;s $1,000 more than the Selmer.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, but then there&#8217;s the fine print&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I noticed that the Series III is available in other finishes. Although not listed on Kessler&#8217;s website, they are listed in the <a href=\"http:\/\/bassic-sax.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/baryton-ang-031.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">glossy brochure<\/a>. You can get the new Selmer bari in: brushed lacquer, silver plate, and black lacquer. Wonder what those options are going to cost? More than $1,000? Well the silver quite possibly, so perhaps Selmer\u00a0is going to hang on to the title of <em>the most expensive new baritone saxophone on the market<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width:500px;margin:0px auto;text-align:left;border:0px solid #25e925;padding:10px;\">\n<div style=\"float:right;width:285px;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:10px;padding-bottom:10px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, Georgia;font-size: 28px;line-height:24px; color:#AAFF66; text-align: right;\">    &#8230;this is just <span style=\"color:#fe4899;\">my <em>blog<\/em>. <\/span><span style=\"color:#66aaff\"> My <b>\u201creal\u201d <\/b> website is<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bassic-sax.info\">www.bassic-sax.info.<\/a> <span style=\"color:#66aaff\">If you\u2019re looking for <\/span> <span style=\"color:#fe4899;\"> <strong>sax info<\/strong>,<\/span> you should <span style=\"color:#aaff66\">check it out too.<\/span><span style=\"color:#fe4899;\">There\u2019s <em>lots<\/em> there! <\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear:both;\"><\/div>\n<p><\/DIV><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well the Selmer Series III baritone, model 66AF, has finally arrived at Kessler &amp; Sons Music in Las Vegas.
