// SELMER Tenor Sax Supreme Dark Gold Lacquer //

After 100 years of saxophone innovation, conception, and manufacturing, Henri SELMER Paris has redefined the concept of the tenor saxophone with the birth of the Supreme. The Supreme embodies the ideals of the Maison SELMER, the culmination of years of know-how and perfect craftsmanship, and marks the beginning of new possibilities.

The Tenor Supreme surpasses previous models in flexibility and agility, while simultaneously achieving the remarkable feat of possessing the precision and accurate intonation found in modern models. It can produce a powerful yet incredibly refined sound. The Tenor Supreme enables impressive power and expressive lyricism. From the softest whisper to the most wailing cry, it can express everything with ease.

Furthermore, without being constrained by the inertia inherent in the tenor saxophone, the overall balance was re-tuned, and ergonomics were employed to achieve a sense of lightness the moment the player picks it up. This free-thinking approach resulted in a new bore that produced an extremely flexible and supple tone, something previously impossible with tenor saxophones. The new identity of the Tenor Supreme is established by a creative, bold, and innovative aesthetic that can be seen in every detail of the instrument.

This instrument, the epitome of refinement, will bring unparalleled joy and freedom of play, and will serve as a source of inspiration for rediscovering the tenor saxophone.

【sound】
The Supreme sound is born from perfect balance.
- A resonant, full sound - Unprecedented flexibility and ease of playing - Accurate intonation - A combination of roundness and rich tone

【Elegant design】
The smooth lines and rounded, beautiful design evoke the feeling of flowing sound.
The sculpture by Supreme represents universality. It is expressed through a design that blends images of plants and metal molecules (cubes), representing the flow, speed, and life of things, while the circle in the background is inspired by planets and outer space.

[Concept]
- The diameter and position of the tone holes have been changed to achieve a more uniform tone. By reducing the diameter of the key cups, the tone holes are opened up, optimizing the tone.
- System improvements were made to enhance usability.
- The height of the left-hand pearl keys has been adjusted to allow for a more natural finger position.
- Optimized the position of the side F# for a more natural placement.
- Smoother key operations by incorporating new actions.
