The Giardinelli by Selmer intermediate GAS-12 Series alto saxophone features artisan design that captures the signature Selmer tone. A fully ribbed construction and rose brass neck create a rich, warm and projecting tone. The tone hole system and bore design provide superb intonation and flexibility. The GAS-12 features Pisoni Pro pads, metal resonators, and a professional Selmer Paris S-80 mouthpiece. The alto sax has a perfect balance between response and tone depth. The durable construction of this saxophone is highlighted by its double arm bracing on the bell keys. This ensures consistent and reliable seating of the pads.

The fully ribbed construction and tri-point bell brace create a strong foundation for the key mechanism. This keeps the key work in optimal adjustment. The blue steel needle springs create a light and fast key action for which Selmer is known. Along with great key action, the GAS-12 features an adjustable thumb rest, titled left hand spatula keys, and superb ergonomics. This provides everything needed for fast and demanding technical passages. Hand engraving enhances the beautiful gold lacquer, adding craftsmanship to the design and construction. To protect this instrument when not in use, it comes with a BAM case. This case features backpack straps, an accessories compartment, durable handles, and an outer pocket for sheet music.
