Selmer Signature - Soprano Bb Brushed

The Renewal of the SELMER Paris Soprano: Heritage and Innovation

The brushed Henri SELMER Paris SIGNATURE soprano saxophone follows in the footsteps of the renowned Série III, a model that has shaped the history of the soprano saxophone since its launch in 1993. It becomes the central model in the manufacture's soprano range, succeeding the Super Action 80 Série II and Série III. Its name highlights the identity of SELMER Paris as both creator and manufacturer, with expertise developed in Mantes-la-Ville since 1919.

This SIGNATURE version combines a thoroughly redesigned acoustic concept with an aesthetic inspired by Art Deco. Its exclusive engraving evokes the tools, technical drawings, metalworking flames and precise gestures of the artisans who craft the manufacture's saxophones. The brushed finishing gives it a matte, elegant and contemporary appearance, while particularly highlighting the delicacy of these motifs.

A Versatile Soprano Saxophone for Exploring Every Repertoire

The SIGNATURE is designed for intermediate, advanced and professional saxophonists looking for a demanding yet immediately welcoming soprano. Traditionally delicate to master, the soprano saxophone requires great precision in embouchure and breath control. Here, reliable response and well-balanced intonation make it possible to approach the instrument with greater confidence.

Its great flexibility is equally suited to classical music, jazz, contemporary music, pop, stage music and saxophone ensembles. Its ability to maintain excellent stability at soft dynamics makes it a particularly inspiring partner for nuanced playing, expressive phrasing and work in the upper registers.

Roundness, Projection and Mechanical Elegance

In the key of B♭, this soprano saxophone offers a range from low B♭ to high G. The improvements made to the necks and tone-hole network contribute to a more natural response across the entire range. The low register gains in security, while the right-hand notes, often sensitive on a soprano, respond with greater consistency.

The tone emphasizes immediate roundness, with a broad sound and generous projection. The registers remain even and retain controlled brightness all the way into the high and altissimo registers. This sonic consistency allows the player to move from one register to another without any marked break in color or excessive effort.

The ergonomics retain the spirit of the Série III while incorporating significant improvements. The neck receiver, tightened concentrically at three points, secures the connection between the body and the neck. Its movable nickel silver tightening ring, made from a dense and durable metal alloy, reinforces this strategic area while allowing precise adjustment. The octave key mounted on Teflon bearings lightens the mechanical action and limits play, unwanted noise and wear.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The saxophone is delivered ready to play with its Henri SELMER Paris Concept mouthpiece, ligature and mouthpiece cap. For routine maintenance, the supplied body and neck swab, two-material cloth and grease help preserve the cleanliness of the tube, necks and receiver. The metal plug effectively protects the cork and connection area when storing the instrument in the exclusive Signature case made by BAM.
