Selmer Paris' professional saxophone history includes some of the most influential instruments ever made. The Balanced Action (BA) and Super Balanced Action (SBA) established important foundations for the development of the modern professional saxophone, while the legendary Mark VI became one of the most recognized and sought-after saxophones in history. These vintage models remain highly respected for their individual tonal character, response, and historical importance.
Selmer's modern professional lineup continued this tradition through models such as the Super Action 80 Series II, Series III, and Reference series. Each generation represents a different stage in the development of Selmer's approach to saxophone design, from the distinctive character of vintage instruments to the precision and consistency of modern production.
Choosing between Selmer Paris models depends on the player's preferred tonal concept, response, musical style, instrument generation, and budget. Vintage models such as the BA, SBA, and Mark VI offer the individual character associated with their era, while modern instruments provide their own interpretation of Selmer's professional design tradition.
