Overview
Band rooms and lesson studios are where the Selmer Aristocrat AS600 earns its keep, as a lacquered brass alto saxophone for student and intermediate players. Nickel-plated keys, a rocking table mechanism and an articulated C# adjusting screw shape how the keywork moves.
Selmer gives the AS600 a high F# key and adjustable keywork, features that serve a player growing out of a starter horn. Its listing reads like a used instrument: the seller mentions light cosmetic wear and a staff inspection, so check that the unit offered is new.
Who it's for
Suited to a school band member or adult learner moving beyond the basics on alto. Shoppers who insist on a brand new instrument should confirm condition first, since the listing describes inspected, lightly worn stock.
Pros and cons
- High F# key extends the upper range
- Articulated C# adjusting screw

- Listing describes cosmetic wear from play

Performance notes
Response depends on how well the keys seal, and the seller notes the valves and corks were inspected by band staff before sale. The articulated C# screw lets a technician adjust that key linkage, while the rocking table mechanism shapes how the table keys move under the fingers.
