Selmer has phased out the "Signet" name recently. Comparable models are
now called Selmer 100 (latest ones are 103). There is also a 200 model,
which I believe has unstained wood and silver (or gold?) plated keys.
Yours is probably less than 10 years old.

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