Saxophone fans, here it is! The Selmer Supreme tenor saxophone in all its glory.
From Selmer's website:
After 100 years of innovation, design, and manufacturing of the saxophone, Henri SELMER Paris redefines the modern identity of the tenor saxophone with the Supreme.
The tenor Supreme achieves the feat of surpassing the flexibility and sensation of lightness found in historic models and combining those features with the precision and exactness of pitch found in modern ones.
It is both powerful and capable of infinite refinement. It allows for a an impressive power or a very expressive lyricism. Its dynamic possibilities go from a barely audible whisper to a wailing scream
The creation of the Supreme embodies the culmination of an age-old savoir-faire combined with a perfect mastery of fabrication tools, all rising to meet the expectations of the Maison SELMER.
The tenor Supreme defies the natural inertia inherent to the tenor, offering a real sensation of lightness from the moment it enters the musicians’ hands, thanks a redistribution of its overall equilibrium and its compact ergonomics. This liberty manifests itself, above all, in the immense flexibility and suppleness of sound, previously unattainable in a tenor, which has been achieved with the new bore.
This new identity for the tenor Supreme is complemented by a creative, bold and innovative aesthetic that can be found in every detail of the instrument.
Highlights from Selmer's Website:
-Nickel tightening ring: bringing density to this delicate area. Since it is not connected to the neck receiver, its position is adjustable.
-Direct adjustment arm: direct adjustment arm between the right hand F# and F keys, allowing for finer, more reliable adjustment.
-3 point concentric clamp: on the neck receiver for a better junction between the neck and body, ensuring a better hold over time and avoiding deformation of the neck and tenon.
-Octave key system: with teflon supports to limit movement, noise, and wear.
-Left hand pinky finger keys: hinged toggle allows for greater ease of movement from one key to another.
-Repositioned strap ring for better overall equilibrium.
-Redesign of side key arms: facilitating transition from one to the other.
