Selmer Paris Supreme Modele 2022 Alto Saxophone- Dark Gold Matte Lacquered

Get the Standard of the Saxophone with the Selmer Paris Supreme Modele 2022 Alto Saxophone, Dark Gold Matte Lacquered

Successors of Adolphe Sax, the Henri SELMER Paris workshops have accumulated 100 years of know-how and excellence in saxophone manufacturing that is 100% "made in France.” Since the famous Series 22 model, launched in 1922, more than 800,000 saxophones have been made in their workshops in Mantes-la-Ville, giving birth to mythical models that have shaped the sound of the saxophone. The prevailing spirit of innovation and the close relationship with saxophonists from all over the world is illustrated daily in the design of the instruments, made with and for musicians. Today, Henri SELMER Paris offers musicians the entire saxophone family, from sopranino to bass, in a wide range of finishes.

The SUPREME Modèle 2022 alto celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Modèle 22, the first saxophone to be manufactured by the Henri Selmer Paris workshops in 1922. Produced in a limited series of 641 pieces -in reference to the number of parts needed to assemble it- this new version of the SUPREME alto benefits from the same acoustic, mechanical and ergonomic qualities, but is distinguished by a specific, innovative and creative design. Its exclusive matte dark gold finish is highlighted by the contrast of a palette of blacks on the guards, the body-to-bell grenadilla wood medallion, the pads and the mother-of-pearls. The patterns of its engraving, resolutely Art Déco, evoke the Paris of the Roaring Twenties, a euphoric interlude between the two world wars, where the intense desire for transgression and avant-garde was an ideal setting for the saxophone, which was then just waiting to flourish. The gold-plated thumb rests, neck receiver climping ring and body-to-bell reinforce the precious character of this limited series, each piece of which being numbered.
