What do the different metals do?

Goldbrass Sax Necks
Selmer Paris Goldbrass necks are the same design as their standard necks, except they use an alloy consisting of 85% copper and 15% zinc. This increased copper content gives the metal a slightly redder look to it. It offers a slightly warmer tone and improved flexibility throughout the range of the instrument. Many find that the goldbrass necks also offer enhanced low overtones.

Sterling Silver (Paris) Sax Necks
Selmer Paris Sterling Silver necks are constructed from Sterling Silver. Commonly referred to as "Solid Silver", sterling is actually a mix of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. The copper is added for additional metal strength and durability. Sterling Silver typically offers superior resonance and projection throughout the instrument range.  These necks allow for a more focused, richer sound with enhanced overtones.

Other Necks Available through Selmer :
Sterling Plus Silver Tenor Necks in either thinwall or standard thickness. - These are NOT Selmer Paris necks but rather are Selmer USA necks and were designed for the intermediate Selmer USA TS100.

Booster Design
Perfected by the research-development department SELMER-Paris, the "Booster" offers a different neck making (creation of a spiral groove on the inside tenon of neck). This different surface state gives a different way to blowed air - a focused sound, more developed on left hand and for very high-pitch sounds. A broad and rich tone.

Originally only available on the Series III soprano, this design has become available on Series III necks throughout the instrument lineup.

Booster designs are available by special order only.
