Henri Selmer Paris has redefined the modern identity of the tenor saxophone with the Supreme.

The creation of the Supreme embodies the culmination of an age-old savoir-faire combined with a perfect mastery of fabrication tools, all rising to meet the expectations of the Maison Selmer.

The tenor Supreme achieves the feat of surpassing the flexibility and sensation of lightness found in historic models and combining those features with the precision and exactness of pitch found in modern ones. It is both powerful and capable of infinite refinement. It allows for a an impressive power or a very expressive lyricism. Its dynamic possibilities go from a barely audible whisper to a wailing scream. The tenor Supreme defies the natural inertia inherent to the tenor, offering a real sensation of lightness from the moment it enters the musicians’ hands, thanks a redistribution of its overall equilibrium and its compact ergonomics. This liberty manifests itself, above all, in the immense flexibility and suppleness of sound, previously unattainable in a tenor, which has been achieved with the new bore.

This new identity for the tenor Supreme is complemented by a creative, bold and innovative aesthetic that can be found in every detail of the instrument. The refinement and care taken in its fabrication offer unparalleled pleasure and ease of play, making it a source of inspiration for rediscovering the tenor.

The Sound

A wide range of projection
An unprecedented flexibility and ease of playing
An accurately distributed tuning
A roundness combined with an immense richness of timbres

Mechanics and Ergonomics

3-point concentric clamp on the neck receiver for a better junction between the neck and the body, ensuring a better hold over time and avoiding deformation of the neck and the tenon.

Direct adjustment arm between the right hand F# and F keys, allowing for finer, more reliable adjustment.
Octave key system with teflon supports to limit movement, noise and wear.
Hinged toggle on left hand pinky finger keys allows for greater ease of movement from one key to another.
Repositioned strap ring for better overall equilibrium.
Redesign of side key forms and placements, facilitating transition from one to the other.
