The strong, dark, and clear sound of my Selmer Series 10 (old model, before
the letters came out) might work well. I think the 10S II would be the
current comparable model, with some improvements in the key design, at
least. It is advertised as a general purpose horn, where the 10G is
symphonic and the Recital is more chamber-oriented. The Signature has the
auxilliary Eb for the left pinky, two barrels, etc., and is quite nice, but
expensive ($4200 retail).

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
