Selmer Supreme Modèle 2022 Alto Saxophone

The creation of the Selmer Supreme Alto embodies the culmination of a century of expertise, combined with a perfectly mastered manufacturing tool that lives up to the instrument’s ambition. 

The Supreme alto “Modèle 2022” celebrates the 100th anniversary of the first saxophone to be manufactured in the Henri SELMER Paris workshops in 1922.

Finish: matte dark gold finish with matte black chromed on the neck key and guards, the body-to-bell grenadilla wood medallion, the pads and the mother-of-pearls. 

Produced in a limited series of 641 pieces – in reference to the number of parts needed to assemble it. 

The patterns of its engraving, resolutely Art Déco, evoke the Paris of the Roaring Twenties, that saw the birth of the first SELMER saxophone.
