Selmer TS280 La Voix II Tenor Saxophone (Copper)

Introducing the Selmer La Voix II as a Strong Competitor in the Intermediate Saxophone Market

The Selmer La Voix II has been designed to offer a back-to-basics approach, providing a lighter feel and a very focused sound. This saxophone is a strong competitor in the intermediate saxophone market, as Selmer has trimmed back some of the extraneous features of the original La Voix.

The acoustic response of the Selmer La Voix II saxophones is quick and fluid through all registers, with the neck specially designed to have a slight resistance. This combination of features provides superior response, making it a preferred choice for teachers in terms of embouchure and air stream development.

The solid red brass construction of the La Voix II helps produce a bigger, richer tone, thanks to the increased copper content in the alloy. The compact key design, with professional spring tension, allows for quicker facility. The double-braced low C and B keys add strength and stability to the lower bell keys, while the reinforced table arch stabilizes the left-hand pinky cluster to prevent damage while in the case.

Another notable feature of the La Voix II is the high F# key, which affords the player a full range of notes. Multiple adjusting screws make repairs and adjustments a simple task. The treated leather pads help to extend the instrument's lifespan, reducing the need for costly trips to the repair shop.

The Selmer La Voix II instruments feature Selmer USA mouthpieces, which help to create an even tone, excellent response, and steady intonation. The new, lighter-weight cases thoroughly protect the instruments and offer excellent storage capacity.

The standard finish for the alto saxophone is a clear lacquer on yellow brass, with optional finishes including copper brass, black nickel plate with lacquer keys, and bright silver plate.

The return to a more traditional bell size in the La Voix II instruments offers the player a tone with more focus and ease of blending, making them ideal for concert band and solo playing.
