Selmer Signature Alto Sax

After 100 years as the leading saxophone maker, Selmer Paris released a new concept of the Selmer saxophone; the Supreme. This new model brought improved response, intonation and acoustic balance but it also brought a different type of sound than traditional Selmer saxophones. So in 2023, Selmer took many of the improvements from the Supreme and merged them with the all time best selling Selmer alto, the Super Action 80 Series II. This combination lead to the most in tune and balanced saxophone that also maintains the more traditional Selmer sound… the new Selmer Signature Alto Sax!

Evolution of the Series II
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  are updated to respond to the needs of all musicians. The Signature also benefits from the latest innovations, updated from 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.
