The new Selmer Paris Signature Series alto saxophone, model 82SIG. When Selmer Paris launched the Supreme, they knew it was time to consolidate their product lines and make them more streamlined. They decided to discontinue many of their older models, but wanted to make sure the next generation still had access to their most popular instruments. Thus, the Signature line. The Series II alto has been updated into the new Signature, and the same for the Series III tenor.
The Signature alto embodies the renewal of the Super Action 80 Series II model, which has marked the history of the saxophone since its launch in 1986. While retaining the sound characteristics of the Series II, it offers improved intonation, especially in the upper register, and favors emission in the lower register.
Its ergonomics, also inspired by the Series II to respond to the needs of all musicians, benefits from the latest innovations, updated for the Supreme: a new 3-point neck receiver system for better sound homogeneity, a nickel-silver tightening ring for greater density in this sensitive zone, an octave key with Teflon supports for more mechanical fluidity, etc.
Embellished with original engraving in the Art Deco style, paying homage to the age-old techniques handed down through generations of artisans at the SELMER factory in Mantes-la-Ville since 1919, the Signature alto is both a traditional saxophone and a beacon of modernity.
