#SELMER REFERENCE 54 BOX SERIES#
'Reference 36' develops a rich tone, open, in the spirit of the 'Balanced Action' series launched in 1936. The tenor 'Reference' saxophones exist in two versions: 36 and 54. The 'Reference' design integrates acoustic and mechanical characteristics from the most celebrated Selmer Paris models, in instruments which benefit from today's manufacturing techniques. The 'Reference' range has emerged out of the accumulated experience gathered over the course of one century of instrumental making and from a ceaseless exchange with the musicians of legend who played the 'Mark VI' and 'Balanced Action'. To date the soprano, alto, tenor and baritone models are available in this series. It is an instrument of exceptional homogeneity of accuracy, timbre and emission. It integrates the latest advances in Selmer Paris' techniques of manufacturing and musical design.Ĭreated in the same spirit of versatility of use, it holds equal appeal for musicians from different terrains. The 'Series III' range offers a different aesthetic of sound. It knows an ever-renewed success thanks to the improvements regularly brought to it. It has acquired a thoroughly well deserved and hard-earned reputation with musicians across the world : prestigious masters from the classical, jazz and pop worlds have brought it high acclaim over the years.
#SELMER REFERENCE 54 BOX PROFESSIONAL#
Selmer Paris saxophones : a professional rangeįoundation of the SELMER Paris range, this series is to date the most complete, offering the entire saxophone family (from the Sopranino saxophone in E flat, to the Bass saxophone in B flat) in a large array of finishes.
Other members of the family, although less commonly used, have appeared progressively throughout the evolution of the classical repertoire. Right from the beginning, the alto and tenor saxophones have been the models most in demand amongst composers. Highly recommended.The family of eight saxophones invented by Adolphe Sax and patented on March 21, 1 4 is today focused on seven instruments, offered either in Eb or Bb. It’s a solid modern saxophone, and definitely a good purchase if you can find one used like this.
They tune better than a VI, and the keywork is more comfortable too.
These horns are fun to play, and the lacquer and engraving are really eye-catching. Is it really worth losing $2000-3000+ just to be the one to open the box the first time, versus having something nearly new with a proper setup? And any new one you buy will also need this same setup and will be worth around $4500 as soon as you drive it off the lot. This horn looks new but saves you thousands of dollars versus buying a new one. This horn is better than new because the factory pads have had a fresh setup including replacing several of them for increased playability and better feel and reliability down the road. These are the best sounding modern Selmers in my opinion, and actually do play similarly to a vintage Selmer, but with more modern ergonomics. It has been played a little but not much, and is an enormously better deal than buying a new one. Near mint example of a Selmer Reference 54 alto.
