I'm seeing this as a new model from Selmer Paris. It seems like this new model isn't much different from previous models like St. Louis, Artys, etc. based on the spec on the website. So, has anybody tried this and what is like? I haven't seen this for sale anywhere.

I tried a prototype and it was EXTREMELY nice. At the time I was looking for a new instrument and just personally I would have purchased one if this particular one was for sale. Unfortunately it wasn't so I have a nice R13 instead.
It was very even, had a beautiful sound, solid keywork, and quite a pronounced 'egg' in the bell (like Buffet RC but more).

Tried one at the NAMM show last week- was very impressed- had great tone,. blew easily and hit the high altissimo very readily. Didn't check intonation, but it seemed OK to my ear. I want one!

As always, the specs never really show how an instrument plays. I can't wait to try one again, because when I played it in Atlanta, I was so impressed with the evenness, but also that it felt more like a Buffet. This might seem odd, but it felt like the first Selmer I could live with on feel, but it also had the great tuning and evenness they're known for.
