[For Selmer models without teardrop lenses] There are two types available for Selmer guitars. If you have a more recent model that uses a direct screw to fasten the thumb hook, suc h as the SA-80II (Series 2) or SERIE III (Series 3) from the Jubilee onwards, please use the "without teardrop" version. If you have a model that uses a teardrop (teardrop-shaped part) between the thumb hook and the screw, such as the Jubilee or earlier models, please use the "with teardrop" version. // buzz Nickel Silver Sccessories for Saxophone // Saxophone screws are generally made of brass. Changing the screws from brass to nickel silver increases the efficiency of the vibration of the entire tube. This is an important part that has a significant impact on the contours, overtones, and resonance of the sound. *What is nickel silver? An alloy of copper and zinc is called brass, and has long been used as a material for brass instruments and saxophones due to its ease of processing and tone. Nickel silver is a material made by mixing nickel with brass, and as it adds the hardness and corrosion resistance of nickel to brass, it has long been used for some saxophone parts that require strength. In recent years, it has also begun to be used as a material for saxophone bodies, and its unique sound is creating a new direction for saxophones. (Atsumi) ■We received a comment from Tatsuya Sato! "The [buzz] neck screws, layer screws, and support ring screws are individually carved to enhance the sound and playing feel of your saxophone. Nickel silver, a metal used in flutes and some high-end saxophones, produces rich overtones. I use them myself, and I highly recommend them!" Show more
