Selmer Supreme Alto Sax

Description

Selmer Supreme Alto Sax

The Selmer Supreme Alto Sax is the latest addition to the Selmer stable, and it enters at the top of the list. Designed to transcend other makes and models, the Supreme is aiming to be the pinnacle of Saxophone production and is inspired by over 100 years of Saxophone making heritage from the worlds most famous Sax manufacturer.
The result of 8 years of research, design and development. The Selmer Supreme Alto Sax has been built from the ground up, with the Selmer team and their associated professional musicians finessing every last detail. From the key angles, to the tone hole positioning and sizes, all the way down to the neck screw mechanism. This is no re-design of a previous model, it’s a brand new design for a new century in the Selmer company’s history
The sound of the Supreme has been designed to offer a perfect balanced between roundness and rich sonority. It has unprecedented flexibly across the whole range and a broad projection. Technical changes to facilitate these aspects have been:

• A brand new neck bore design
• Reduction of the low Bb and B key cup diameters
• New height reference for all keys
• Modified diameters and locations of tone holes
• New bore through the bell section

There have been many changes and modifications to the standard Selmer key layout principles of years gone by:

• 3-point concentric clamp for a better neck-to-body connection
• This clamp is made of nickel silver to add density to this important nodal point of the Saxophone
• The clamp is disassociated from the socket which makes it possible to adjust its position
• Direct arm between the right hand F# and F keys for a finer adjustment
• Octave key system includes Teflon inside for longer durability
• New front F key design that is more easily accessible 
• A lighter C# correction system 
• Redesigned shape and positioning of the side keys
• Hinged toggle on left hand pinky keys for greater fluidity between keys
• Shorter action of the octave key for a faster, more positive feel

Each Selmer Supreme comes complete with a case, concept mouthpiece (lig & cap), leather neck strap and special silk/microfiber cloth for cleaning the outside. Selmer also include a body swab, neck swab and cork grease.
