Successors of Adolphe Sax, the Henri SELMER Paris workshops have accumulated 100 years of know-how and excellence in the manufacture of “made in France” saxophones.
Since the famous Serie 22 model, launched in 1922, more than 800,000 saxophones have been manufactured in the workshops of Mantes-la-Ville, giving birth to legendary models that have shaped the sound of the saxophone.
The spirit of innovation that continues and the proximity with saxophonists from all over the world are illustrated on a daily basis, even in the design of the instruments, carried out with the musicians and for the musicians.
After
100 years of innovation , design and manufacture of the saxophone, Henri SELMER Paris redefines, with the
“Supreme” , the modern identity of the alto saxophone.
The Supreme rises above musical aesthetics.
He carries with him the qualities common to the models that came before him. responding to the desires of all saxophonists' profiles: beauty and care in achieving
”Balanced Action” , precision and elegance of
”Serie III” , power and roundness of
”Reference” .
It is characterized by
perfectly balanced accuracy ,
infinite sound colors and high emission precision. It masks the natural constraints inherent in the saxophone,
the playing limits are pushed back .
Its
roundness and its capacity for projection make it an instrument that is both traditional and resolutely modern. The refinement and the care taken in its manufacture as well as
a completely corrected ergonomics , reveal an unprecedented pleasure and evidence of play.
The sound : The sound of the Supreme is the result of a perfect balance between:
- roundness combined with an immense wealth of timbre
- an ideally distributed accuracy
- unprecedented flexibility and ease of play
- a large projection capacity
Mechanics and Ergonomics: - The diameters and the positions of the chimneys have been modified allowing a better homogeneity of the timbre.
- The heights of mother-of-pearl left hand have been realigned allowing a more natural position of the fingers.
- Optimized, the position of the mother-of-pearl on the side is more natural.
