Selmer Paris Professional Saxophones

Super Action 80 Series II Saxophones | Series II Jubilee

Dave Kessler's Description:
The Super Action 80 Series II saxophone is still to this day, the most popular (in production & current use) professional Selmer Paris model of all time. In production since 1986, it is the longest running production of a Selmer Paris saxophone model. The Series II is a solid horn in every aspect. While many consider the Series II more of a symphonic saxophone, it is also a very versatile horn, especially when customized with alternate necks. In fact, our best selling accessory for the Series II is a Series III Goldbrass alloy neck which adds more focus and projection while maintaining the dark and rich tone of the II.

Revised in 2010 with the 125th "Jubilee" Anniversary of Selmer, the Series II is continued today with the "Jubilee" Series cosmetic enhancements. These changes replaced the original Series II configurations as of 2011. The Series II is the most versatile of the Selmer Paris Saxophones.

Series III Saxophones | Series III Jubilee

Dave Kessler's Description:
The Series III was released in 1999 and was designed to be offered in addition to the Series II. This was the first time that Selmer intentionally release a model with the intent of making it a supplemental model rather than replacing a former model as has been the previous method of releasing a new model. The Series III features a tighter bore that gave better projection and response than the Series II and giving a brighter tone. The Series III also uses a lighter weight construction with Selmer's "mini-rib" (a.k.a "split-rib") design. 

Revised in 2010 with the 125th "Jubilee" Anniversary of Selmer, the Series III is continued today with the "Jubilee" Series cosmetic enhancements. These changes replaced the original Series III configurations as of 2011.

Reference Model Saxophones

Dave Kessler's Description:
The Reference series of saxophones (tenors released in 2001 and altos in 2003) represent the completion of Selmer's modern design approach. With the Series II & III saxophones offering 2 different styles of modern saxophones, the Reference was designed to bring the characteristics of vintage Selmers into the modern age.

These horns are not copies of their respective referenced models but rather modern horns that were designed with the tonal characteristics of these great vintage horns in mind. The Reference 36 (tenor) refers back to 1936, the year that Selmer started production of the Balanced Action models. The Reference 54 (alto and tenor) refers back to 1954, the year that Selmer Mark VI production started.
