If a few days ago we announced the arrival of the Selmer Muse Eb Clarinet to the family, today we can announce another important addition: the new Selmer Supreme Tenor Saxophone, which is now available for the enjoyment of any saxophonist.
Features of Selmer Supreme Tenor Saxophone
The flexibility and feeling of lightness of the historical models has been combined with the precision and tuning of modern models. This is a powerful tenor saxophone but refined in the sonorous details, and that does not leave aside the visual level and a very good feeling in the hands.
News
The conception of this new tenor from Selmer is based on the modification of the diameters of the toneholes, together with a smaller key size and a reduced key distance. On these left hand keys, the nacelles have been realigned to achieve a more natural finger position. Rollers have also been used for the G# keys, offering greater mechanical fluidity.
The most general constructive novelties can be seen in the new tudel bore, the tudel locking ring in maillechort and a new bell.
In terms of sound, it has an impressive projection combined with greater flexibility in execution, balanced tuning and a richness of timbre combined with roundness in emission.
On a more aesthetic level, as was already the case with the alto saxophone, the Supreme tenor features the well-known traditional Selmer engraving. It is combined with symbols of nature and universality.
Availability and price
This new tenor saxophone is on sale today at LA MUSA, and available in 7 finishes.
Finally, as usual, it includes an exclusive case manufactured by BAM with all the details. And in addition, a cord, brushes, stopper and a large cloth in the shape of the saxophone.
