Super Action 80 Series II

Réf. 2314020076

The “Super Action 80 Series II” tenor has earned a solid reputation for its very different personality. It allows the production of an open, harmonically rich sound with excellent projection power.

Released in 1986, this makes it the longest-lived tenor among the various tenor models in the catalog. Its very pronounced angulation gives it a very specific timbre, a very particular grain of sound, very recognizable, with a lot of character.

This specific angulation also determines a playing position, specific to this model. This very specific geometry allows him a great finesse of sound while having a great capacity of projection.

A tenor that you have to get to know to discover all its richness.

Le meilleur du saxophone

I have played my Selmer Super Action 80 II for 21 years now. It has proven to be the most reliable and consistent horn that I have ever tried. The Selmer Super Action 80 II allows me to play with a rich and highly nuanced palette of sounds. Its ergonomics are unparalleled, which enables me to play the most technically demanding music. The projection and intonation are also superb, which allows me to express my own artistic vision without burdensome limitations.
