Description
After 100 years of innovation, design, and craftsmanship, Henri Selmer Paris has redefined the modern tenor saxophone with the Supreme — the new gold standard in professional saxophone design. This instrument is the culmination of one century of expertise, combined with a perfectly mastered manufacturing process that fulfills the highest ambitions of the Selmer legacy.
The Selmer Supreme tenor saxophone delivers impeccably balanced tuning, an infinite palette of sound colors, and an effortless response that makes the instrument feel like a natural extension of the player. With its new larger bore for flexibility and intonation, it eliminates the usual physical and tonal limitations of the tenor saxophone, offering complete freedom of expression. Its round, warm tone carries with power and projection, blending traditional Selmer richness with a modern versatility suited for any musical style.
Every detail of the Supreme tenor is refined for professional performance — from its compact, lightweight ergonomics that promote balance and ease of play, to its redesigned neck and bell that enhance resonance and projection. The meticulous hand-finishing and exclusive engraving create an instrument as visually striking as it is musically uncompromising. The result is a tenor saxophone that sets a new benchmark for what the instrument can be, offering an unmatched combination of sound, comfort, and beauty.
