The E-flat sopranino saxophone is regarded as a very delicate instrument with respect to both its playing approach as well as its fabrication. It is the highest voice in the saxophone family and is used more and more frequently in the contemporary repertoire.
The Henri SELMER Paris “Super Action 80 Series II” Sopranino features good overall blowing and attractive timbre: despite its high pitch, it has a warm sound that is very close to the E-flat alto.
It fully fits into the “Super Action 80 Series II” spirit, while asserting a real personality.
The B-flat soprano saxophone “Super Action 80 Series II” represents a significant advance in the overall design of the soprano and asserts itself as a particularly interesting model in terms of sound colour.
A beautifully toned instrument, rich in high harmonics, it has excellent projection power.
Its design (a one-piece tube) ensures great playing stability, particularly as regards accuracy of pitch and blowing.
Accessories included : S80 C* B-flat Soprano Saxophone Mouthpiece Clear Lacquer, B-flat Soprano Saxophone Light Case.
With the introduction of the “Series III” Soprano, the world of the Soprano opens up to the musician.
Summit of the Henri SELMER Paris range, the "SERIES III" soprano's effortless ergonomics are particularly attractive for the non-specialist, featuring a playing technique similar to that of the alto and tenor.
A flexible instrument, with an easy sound modulation and a smooth, warm tone, it displays a rich timbre without aggressivity particularly in the upper register (altissimo), a very homogeneous and stable pitch and an expanded range, thanks to its high G key.
The functioning and positioning of all the left-hand little finger spatulas in the low register, and left-hand little finger C/E-flat spatulas are optimized.
As all our top-of-the-range instruments, the Axos model continues the tradition of craftsmanship manufacturing integrating new industrial techniques.
Since its release in 2015, it is the ideal instrument for musicians who want to purchase a professional saxophone at a more affordable price. Aiming to make quality instruments available to a greater number of musicians, Axos provides playing comfort with its specially adapted keywork as well as great mechanical reliability. Many students, amateurs and professionals alike have adopted it.
On the occasion of its fifth anniversary, the Axos alto has been given a specific darker lacquer whose warm colour is similar to that of the other models.The “second generation” Axos also offers a specific floral engraving for a high quality alto.
The “Super Action 80 Series II” alto is without doubt the world’s most popular professional alto saxophone.
Its very open, harmonically rich sound and excellent projective power make it a particularly versatile instrument.
In classic and jazz, its sound power and wide dynamic range make it the instrument of choice, ideal in the Quartet as well as in larger groups or concert bands. The extremely well-balanced mechanism offers great precision in playing.
The “Series III” alto saxophone is part of the “Selmer sound” tradition: open and centred, it offers the musician pure playing pleasure. Capable of responding to the slightest inflection of breath, it allows each person the chance to express oneself in complete freedom.
Perfectly balanced overall tuning (octave ratios) and a remarkably staged upper register, with the double C sharp mechanism, are compelling features of the "Series III". Its acoustic, mechanical and ergonomic qualities make it a first-class instrument, one that is superbly suited to the needs and uses of our time.
The "Reference" Alto exhibits a strong personality for an instrument of such modern design and manufacture, and each musician will recognise the original “Mark VI” feeling.
Acoustics, ergonomic features and aesthetics evoke the spirit of this celebrated model :
- rich, round tone colour, very centred blowing and exceptional tuning balance,
- compact and precise keywork, comfortable handling,
- a specific finish with a fine engraving and dark lacquer.
The “Reference” Alto stands out for its great ease of playing, flexibility and power, giving free rein to each person's expressiveness.
After 100 years of innovation, design, and manufacturing of the saxophone, Henri SELMER Paris redefines the modern identity of the alto saxophone with the Supreme.
The creation of the Supreme embodies the culmination of one century of expertise, combined with a perfectly mastered manufacturing process that lives up to the ambitions of the SELMER company.
The Supreme is characterized by a perfectly balanced tuning, infinite sound colors, and a great ease of response. It hides the natural and inherent constraints of the saxophone - the playing limitations are non-existent. Its roundness and projection capacity make it an instrument that is both traditional and resolutely modern. The refinement and care taken in its manufacture, as well as its entirely corrected ergonomics, reveal an enjoyment and evidence of playing that has never been seen before.
The Supreme alto “Modèle 2022” celebrates the 100th anniversary of the first saxophone to be manufactured in the Henri SELMER Paris workshops in 1922.
The sound of the Supreme is the result of a perfect balance between:
• A roundness combined with an immense richness of timbre
• An ideally distributed accuracy
• An ease and a flexibility of play that is unheard of
• A great power of projection
Produced in a limited series of 641 pieces, 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, that saw the birth of the first SELMER saxophone.
Thanks to its musical attributes, the tenor “Super Action 80 Series II” has forged itself a solid reputation in the world of the tenor saxophone. It boasts unmatchable tuning over the whole range, an open sound very rich in harmonics and excellent projection power.
This powerful sound, combined with an exceptional blowing ease, makes the “Super Action 80 Series II” a highly flexible instrument. Its particularly well-balanced mechanism offers comfortable handling and great playing precision.
With the “Series III” tenor, the Selmer legend continues: incorporating numerous qualities from previous models, it asserts itself with a sound and dynamic range that make it the instrument of the greats.
Acoustically, the “Series III” tenor is a particularly versatile instrument, allowing the musician to explore a multiplicity of sound colours according to concept and material.
A real pleasure to play, with a generous lower register and easy subtones, its excellent response, striking pitch and balanced ergonomics will create a close relationship between musician and instrument, an essential condition for musical expressiveness.
“Reference” is a new Selmer Paris concept which combines acoustic or ergonomic characteristics of several famous previous Selmer Paris models with the qualities of today’s top design and manufacture.
The “Reference” series currently proposes two tenor saxophone versions : “Reference 36” and “Reference 54”.
Each model has a specific tone colour:
- the “Reference 36” features a rich, open tone, in the tradition of “Balanced Action” first released in 1936.
- The more centred “Reference 54” incorporates the famous “Mark VI” design, which came out in 1954.

Designed and manufactured in our workshops in Mantes-la-Ville, the care taken in the manufacture of the Axos tenor by our craftsmen shows the same level of demand and know-how as its predecessors. As an entry-level professional saxophone, it has the same qualities of great flexibility, accuracy and projection as the other Henri SELMER Paris saxophones.
Its great ease of playing and rich timbre make it an ideal instrument to ‘‘tame’’ the tenor, whatever the level of playing. The simplified neck fitting and the special pads amplify this ease of response.The fingers rest naturally on its strong, durable, and ergonomically comfortable keywork.
The warm lacquer shade and the finesse of its engraving are the hallmarks of a great tenor.
The 'Super Action 80 Series II' baritone offers excellent consistency of sound over the whole register, without break-up between low and high notes.
It develops a particularly warm and mellow tone, thus sublimating the features characteristic to this instrument.
The Series III baritone opens the way to an original repertoire and soloist destiny, following in the path of the bass clarinet.
- With unparalleled tuning balance, its tone colour is remarkably even, including in the extreme registers.
- The sound, rich in overtones and embracing a full range of tonalities, is accessible to all styles of music.
- The reduction in size of several soldered parts (ribs, bow guards…) and changes to the neck have been designed to optimize resonance: the instrument is immediately responsive to the musician’s slightest touch, without any loss of energy. It offers increased possibilities with great playing comfort.
- Compact keywork and a close grip enables enhanced dexterity and speed approaching that of the alto saxophone: playing through registers is made easy and further facilitated by natural handling.
- Finally, a lighter overall weight and the peg system attached to the bell frees the musician from handling constraints. With the new Series III, the baritone finally comes into its own genuine identity.
The bass saxophone is an extremely rare and demanding instrument. With the evolution of repertoires instruments with extreme ranges are more and more requested.
The SELMER 'Super Action 80 Series II' bass saxophone is particularly adapted to this new trend: its design and acoustic features enable it to be more than just a 'support' instrument and to play more in overtones as well as any other instrument with a more conventional range.
It offers a real technical virtuosity through optimized ergonomics.

Designed together with Pierrick Pedron, one of the most prominent French Jazz players, the new Selmer Paris Alto saxophone Jazz mouthpiece offers outstanding musical qualities. Machined from a high quality hard rubber bar, an exclusive Selmer Paris process. A great sound: a full spectrum, very rich in low harmonics though keeping a real “cutting through” power. Remarkable enough, the global tone colour remains in its entirety on all registers, specially for the medium register which usually has a trend to loose texture in that kind of mouthpiece conception, a noticeable advantage for recording. A well-balanced tuning and easy control provide a rarely reached playing comfort on a Jazz mouthpiece. An easy blowing mouthpiece with an excellent articulation (detached notes).
