Henri SELMER Paris has spent a century pioneering and refining the saxophone, and with the creation of the Supreme, they are redefining the modern tenor saxophone. This instrument combines the lightness and flexibility of historic models with the precision and accuracy of modern ones, setting a new standard for versatility and performance.
The Supreme Tenor Saxophone boasts a remarkable range of dynamics, from a delicate whisper to a powerful roar, allowing musicians to express themselves with impressive nuance and intensity. Whether seeking to unleash a raw, wailing sound or to deliver a refined and lyrical performance, the Supreme is capable of both. Its impressive balance of power and finesse make it a truly exceptional instrument.
The Supreme saxophone represents the pinnacle of SELMER's expertise, combining centuries-old savoir-faire with cutting-edge fabrication tools to create an instrument that meets the highest standards of the Maison.
Breaking free from the natural inertia of the tenor, the Supreme offers an unparalleled sensation of lightness, achieved through a clever redistribution of its overall balance and compact ergonomics. This newfound freedom is most evident in the instrument's exceptional flexibility and suppleness of sound, made possible by the innovative new bore design.
The Supreme's revolutionary approach to the tenor saxophone is matched by its striking, bold aesthetic, which extends to every aspect of the instrument. From its meticulous craftsmanship to its daring design details, the Supreme represents a new standard in both form and function.
