Used Selmer Paris Supreme Limited Modèle 2022 Alto Saxophone 249 of 641. $8,890.00
The Supreme “Modèle 2022” alto celebrates the hundredth anniversary of the first saxophone to be manufactured by the Henri SELMER Paris workshops in 1922. Produced in a limited series of 641 pieces -in reference to the number of parts needed to assemble it- 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.
Each instrument is unique, with a limited edition number on the neck-to-body connection. Like the thumb rests, the nickel silver clamping ring is gold plated. The Supreme “Modèle 2022” has a specific engraving that goes all the way up the body.
This engraving illustrates and celebrates the joy of the Paris of the 1920s, the Roaring Twenties, an euphoric interlude between the two world wars, when the desire for artistic creation and celebration in all its forms was intense.
