'NEW' Selmer Signature Alto Saxophone
€6,699.00
Signature embodies the evolution of the Super Action 80 Series II (alto) and Series III (tenor) saxophones, improving their acoustic and ergonomic qualities while drawing inspiration from the latest innovations applied to the Supreme model.
Suitable for saxophonists of all levels, these instruments offer great versatility and constitute the natural link between the Axos family, the entry-level professional range, and the Supreme, the top of the range.
Thanks to their generous sound, the mechanical improvements resulting from our latest innovations and their Art Deco engraving, they embody the renewal of tradition.
The Signature name highlights Henri SELMER Paris’s identity as an instrument inventor and manufacturer, established over the course of the company’s history.
The Alto Signature offers a generous and round sound. These characteristics are appreciated by jazz saxophonists as well as by many classical musicians who identify with the French School.
Thanks to its new neck bore, the alto Signature presents a significant improvement in pitch accuracy by correcting the octave relationships in the left hand and the upper register. In addition, the neck facilitates low note response, offering a sensation of exceptional comfort.
The ergonomics of Signature saxophones benefit from the latest innovations, updated for the Supreme: a new 3-point neck receiver system for better sound homogeneity, a nickel-silver tightening ring for greater density in this sensitive zone, an octave key with Teflon supports for more mechanical fluidity…
The range of Signature saxophones is distinguished by their specific varnish color and their engraving, inspired by the art of instrument making practiced by Henri SELMER Paris since 1885. The engraving represents the essential components of the saxophone’s manufacture: the tools, the flames from the smith’s workshop, the technical plans and templates… All are perfectly harmonized in the Art Deco style, which defined the era in which the first SELMER saxophone was born in 1922.
This unique aesthetic pays homage to the artisans whose hands give life to these marvellous instruments.
