Selmer Paris saxophones: a professional range SUPER ACTION 80 SERIES II Foundation of the SELMER Paris range, this series is to date the most complete, offering the entire saxophone family (from the Sopranino saxophone in E flat, to the Bass saxophone in B flat) in a large array of finishes. It has acquired a thoroughly well deserved and hard-earned reputation with musicians across the world: prestigious masters from the classical, jazz and pop worlds have brought it high acclaim over the years.

Selmer (Paris) Reference 54 Tenor Saxophone - Vintage Matte Finish. The Reference tenor takes its inspiration from a 1958 mid-70,000 serial number Mark VI. Musicians and aficionados consider these the most valuable (other than David Sanborn who prefers later models). The Reference plays and feels like a vintage Selmer.

It knows an ever-renewed success thanks to the improvements regularly brought to it. REFERENCE The 'Reference' range has emerged out of the accumulated experience gathered over the course of one century of instrumental making and from a ceaseless exchange with the musicians of legend who played the 'Mark VI' and 'Balanced Action'. The 'Reference' design integrates acoustic and mechanical characteristics from the most celebrated Selmer Paris models, in instruments which benefit from today's manufacturing techniques. The tenor 'Reference' saxophones exist in two versions: 36 and 54.

'Reference 36' develops a rich tone, open, in the spirit of the 'Balanced Action' series launched in 1936. 'Reference 54', more centered, readopts the design of the celebrated 'Mark VI' dating back to 1954. The alto Reference only exists in version 54.

Personalizing your instrument Are you looking for a specific sound pallet, adapted to your style and the multiplicity of the repertories which you play? Selmer Paris offers the solutions to your needs, with a range of personalized options: - a wide range of base FINISHES, each of which confers on the instrument a specific sound color.

- a range of complementary NECKS offering different types of emission, richnesses of timbre and varied ergonomics. - a new 'BOOSTER' design integrated into the neck, for a centered sound rich in harmonics (does not exist for all the range). FINISHES Brass, the material from which the saxophone is manufactured, is a fundamental acoustic element for the instrument. The various treatments carried out are crucial; encountered either in the course of manufacture or applied as a finish, they make possible a wide spectrum of sonic responses.
