Description

Here it is, the second Supreme to join the family, it's the turn for the Supreme tenor saxophone!

It has been two years after Selmer launched the Supreme alto saxophone to the world that now joins this wonderful version for tenor saxophone.

PLEASURE AND EASE OF PLAY

After 100 years of saxophone innovation, conception and manufacturing, Henri Paris is redefining the modern identity of the tenor saxophone with the Supreme.

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 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 infinite refinement. It allows for an impressive power or a very expressive lyricism. Its dynamic possibilities go from a barely audible whisper to a wailing scream. The tenor Supreme defies from the natural inertia inherent to the tenor, offering a real sensation of lightness from the moment it enters the musicians´ hands, thanks to 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.

The refinement and care taken in its fabrication offer unparalleled pleasure and ease of play, making it a source of inspiration for rediscovering the tenor.

Finest tenor players of our time says....

“I have been waiting for Selmer to make a new horn that rivals the old instruments.

I believe the tenor Supreme has that. It plays better than my Super Balanced Action

Ravi Coltrane

“I started playing and was immediately amazed by the sound of this saxophone

It can play any kind of music in any range. It reminds me of the old horns.”

Branford Marsalis

“The tenor Supreme has those things that are important to me.It's similar to my old Mark VI.

I love the color of it”.

Chris Potter

“The first thing that I love is the consistency of the sound and the intonation. It feels very easy to play”

Melissa Aldana

“The tenor Supreme has everything. What strikes me the most is how many different ways I can actually play it”

David Sanchez

“The Supreme tenor is an ideal instrument, promising a new era.”

Sumika Tsujimoto

“It is an extraordinary instrument..It surpasses the historic models.”

Irving Arcao

THE SOUND

The sound of the Supreme is the result of the perfect balance between:

  • A wide range of projection
  • An unprecedented flexibility and ease of playing
  • An accurately distributed tuning
  • A roundness combined with an immense richness of timbre

THE CONCEPTION

  • Modified diameters and locations of tone holes offering a better overall uniformity of timbre
  • Reduced key diameter to "free" the tone holes and optimize the timbre
  • Reduction of the keywork course for increased finger speed
  • Realignment of left hand mother-of-pearl heights, offering a more natural finger position
  • Optimized and more natural positioning of mother-of-pearl side F#
  • Use of rollers gives greater mechanical fluidity for the FX and the G#
  • Redesign of side key forms and placements, facilitating transition from one to the other

THE AESTHETIC

The overall aesthetic of the Supreme has been reconsidered, evoking fluidity of play through its streamlined form and roundness through the softening of the angles.

The engraving of the Supreme tenor evokes a sense of universality.

The genesis of sound is embodied in an explosion mixing the floral motif - traditional in SELMER engraving - with cubic forms illustrating the structure of metal molecules.

This unique combination of elements suggests the projection of air, movement, speed and life. A disc in the background evokes a planet, echoing this notion of infinite space

 It is available in 6 configurations of materials and finishes:

DGG : Engraved dark lacquer

PAO: Engraved antiqued lacquer

AG : Engraved silver plated

NG GO : Engraved black lacquer, lacquered keys

AMG GO : Engraved sterling silver with lacquered keys

AUG : Engraved gold plated
