Selmer Paris Tenor Saxophones: Reference 36, Super Action 80 Serie II, Axos Tenor, 1951 Super Action

Today I play several Selmer Paris Tenor Saxophones. Two of the instruments are privately held and two belong to Beacock Music where I teach woodwind lessons. I love Selmers of all ages and really find that they as a brand have certain feel. I've tried who knows how many over the years from many decades and while there is huge variance between them there is something about them that is Selmer. It's kind of like Ferrari or Lamborghini, they change a ton over time but each brand has their personality and philosophical bent. All my horns are Selmers and Yamaha's and I am partial to both of those brands so my opinions and enthusiasm certainly influence me and are part of why I don't review stuff or go into a bunch of specifics on each instrument. I love playing and sharing some beautiful images of Paris and France and some loverly moments spent with these truly exceptional instruments.
