Encouraged by the warm welcome received by this alto saxophone, the company Henri SELMER Paris decided to carry out the manufacture of the straight soprano si♭, the curved soprano, the soprano in C and the tenor saxophones in si♭ and in C, the latter being better known under the name of 'C Melody'.This is a great playing Selmer Paris K-Modified trumpet that we have in stock right now at ACB This horn is in good condition and it has some great design.The ' C Melody' tenor saxophone was very popular at the beginning of the twenties. New improvements are made to the manufacturing process, notably the tonehole drawing, a technique later taken up by manufacturers worldwide. Henri SELMER Paris presents his first saxophone on December 31, 1921: the Series 1922, which will become the Model 22. The Super Action 80 Series II baritone offers excellent consistency of sound over the whole. It offers a round and colourful sound combined with extreme ease of play.
On this new model, the neck is modified, with a new name plate. The chorus he played on the theme Singing the Blues, with Bix Beiderbecke is one of the classics in this specific repertoire.The production of the Model 26, stamped with the new SELMER Paris logo (registered trademark) spreads from 1926 to 1928. Coleman Hawkins started his own career with 'C Melody', but one of its most famous users was undoubtedly Frankie Trumbauer (1901-1956), of whom even Benny Carter himself was an ardent admirer. But despite its nice sound and ease of playing, it never really found its own place in the range.
Selmer", but it is above all a Selmer model: the ' Cigar Cutter'. In 1929, an alto was released with a larger bore than that of 'Model 28', and was named by the Americans 'New Largebore'.This instrument, bearing the number 1297, is in a way the symbol of the integration of the Adolphe Sax company within Selmer since it bears the inscription "Adolphe Sax made by H. They are contemporaries of models released the same year which themselves did not bear a name, continuing until 1931.
Produced until 1952, these guitars are still highly prized by collectors today and remain intimately linked to gypsy jazz.' Radio improved' saxophones have been specially designed at the period of growing acitvity for radio broadcast and recording. Highly innovative in terms of acoustics and ergonomics, these guitars acquired iconic status thanks to guitarist Django Reinhardt. This model is part of the ' Super Sax Selmer' marked 'SSS'.In 1932, SELMER began building guitars in association with luthier Mario Maccafferi. So called by the Americans because of its octave key in the shape of a cigar cutter, it is also characterized by its V-shaped guard and the clamping tenon of the jar in nickel silver, thicker and cut in the mass.
Coleman Hawkins chose to play on this model at the end of the Thirties.This saxophone, also known by the name ' Super Balanced', is to some extent a transitional instrument falling between the 'Balanced Action' and 'Mark VI'.In contrast to 'Balanced Action', it featured a removable bow, which allowed for much easier maintenance. The origin of the name 'Balanced Action' lies in its balanced keywork and distribution of weight. The low B and B♭ keys were moved to the right side of the bell, allowing for easier operation of the keywork. The keywork was entirely redesigned. As the 'Cigar Cutter', the 'Radio Improved' models belong to the ' Selmer Super Sax' family, bearing the 'SSS' engraving.1935: Metal B♭ and A clarinets, Boëhm systemSelmer began a great turning point in the history of his clarinets by adopting the Boëhm ring mechanism and making a metal clarinet.The ' Balanced Action' is the basic prototype of the modern saxophone and the majority of the changes built into it have been kept to this day.

On the new neck key, the 'S' of Selmer could be found engraved on a blue background. The keywork delivered an exceptional comfort by removing many playing constraints. Compared to the 'Balanced Action', the return to a smaller bore meant an improvement in the flexibility of playing while still preserving good projection.The flexibility of this instrument rapidly attracted lots of great saxophonists such as John Coltrane, Stan Getz and Sonny Rollins. It was distinguished notably by a new design of the octave key spatula and the left- and right-hand plastic thumb rests.
Maurice André also made a major contribution to the development of the instrument's repertoire.The B-flat and C 'Radial 2' trumpets of large average bore were called this because, for ergonomic reasons, the first and third valves precisely formed an angle of 2° with the vertical - the same angle followed by the fingers in the movement of closing. This model laid the foundations of the modern piccolo trumpet and became the reference on the market. The K-modified trumpet retains the improvements of the Balanced (with the piston block shifted forward) and incorporates a modification of the socket.1960: 'Series 9' et 'Series 9*' B♭ and A clarinets'Series 9' corresponded to symphonic music while 'Series 9*' was more suited to jazz and variety music.In 1967, SELMER developed the piccolo trumpet with 4 valves in close collaboration with Maurice André. One model even bore his name, engraved on the bell. A limited production alto featuring a low A also appeared under the label 'Mark VI', which had fans such as Ornette Coleman.Benny Goodman's favourite clarinet is recognizable by the shape of its 12 th key.Louis Armstrong was one of the best ambassadors of the SELMER Paris Trumpets.
