"Reference" is a new Selmer Paris concept, which allows for combining acoustic or ergonomic features of several previous Selmer Paris models with the qualities of a today’s design and making. The "Reference" series currently proposes two tenor saxophone versions: -"Reference 36" -"Reference 54".
Each model has a specific tone colour: the "Reference 36" features a rich, open tone, in the tradition of the "Balanced Action" manufactured beginning in 1936. The more centred "Reference 54" incorporates the famous "Mark VI" design, which came out in 1954.
