Conn-Selmer · Step-up · SAS711
Search for a Selmer AS711 and you'll find two different saxophones, so start with the letters. The SAS711 is the Selmer one, and Conn-Selmer calls it an entry-level professional alto, the next generation of collaboration between Selmer USA and Henri Selmer Paris. It replaced the AS42, which dealers describe as the first horn from that partnership, and the Schmitt Music sax shop introduced the new version in early 2021 as a French and Taiwanese hybrid. The French part is the neck. Henri Selmer Paris makes the neck for this horn and supplies its AM42 mouthpiece, and Conn-Selmer says it's the only horn in its class with a genuine Paris neck. The body has ribbed construction, Mark VI style hand engraving, blued steel springs and Pisoni Pro leather pads with metal resonators, the sort of spec dealers point out is common on professional horns and rare on student ones. The other AS711 is the Prelude by Conn-Selmer, a student alto for beginning band. It's a fine starter, but it isn't this horn, so look for SAS711, the engraved bell and the Paris neck.
More than a beginner needs. It suits a high school player stepping up from a student alto, or an adult who wants a near-pro horn, and the Paris neck is a big part of what you're buying, so make sure it's included.
Build and caseSAS711
Conn-Selmer publishes no serial table for Selmer USA saxophones, and the Selmer Paris chart doesn't apply, so a serial won't date one. Schmitt Music showed the SAS711 as the new version of the AS42 in early 2021, so a horn sold as an SAS711 is from about then on.
The Paris neck is what sets this horn apart, so a listing without it, or with a student neck swapped in, is a different horn. The pads and springs are pro-grade, but a used one still needs the usual check for dried pads and lost adjustment.

Buying guide
This page is the Selmer SAS711, the step-up alto with a neck made by Henri Selmer Paris, not the Prelude AS711 student horn by Conn-Selmer that shares the number. There are at least 5 for sale and four are new, so the $3,875–4,200 band is new dealer pricing, not a used market read, with lacquer ones at $3,899 and black nickel or matte ones at $4,199, all with free shipping. The one used SAS711 asks $2,319 from a US dealer, about $1,580 under new, and it's the one we'd look at, but its photo is the same stock image as the dealer's new listing, so ask for photos of the actual horn and confirm the Paris neck and AM42 mouthpiece are there. It suits a high school player stepping up from a student alto, while a child starting band does fine on a YAS-26 or AS500 for far less.
