Selmer Paris Signature Tenor Saxophone, Antiqued Lacquer Overview
The Selmer Paris Signature Tenor Saxophone, Antiqued Lacquer is designed for professional players seeking refined tone, comfort, and distinctive style. Building on the legacy of the Series III saxophone, it preserves the character that made the original a favourite while introducing acoustic and ergonomic refinements. The standout antiqued lacquer finish is paired with detailed Art Deco engraving, creating a look inspired by Selmer Paris' long tradition of instrument making.
A redesigned bore improves intonation, particularly in the upper register, while also helping lower notes speak more freely. The three-point neck receiver system, adapted from the flagship Supreme range, strengthens the connection between neck and body for greater tonal consistency. A nickel-silver tightening ring adds density in a key acoustic area, and the Teflon-supported octave mechanism promotes smoother, quieter action. Crafted in France by a company that has been building wind instruments since 1885, the Signature Tenor combines established craftsmanship with modern design.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionAntiqued finish with artisan-inspired detail
The Antiqued Lacquer finish gives the Signature Tenor a distinctive appearance that sets it apart from standard models. Its darker, aged character is complemented by original Art Deco engraving inspired by the history of Selmer Paris instrument making. The engraving incorporates visual references to workshop tools, technical drawings, and manufacturing processes, paying tribute to the generations of craftspeople who have built saxophones at the Mantes-la-Ville factory since 1919. The result is an instrument that reflects both the company's heritage and its ongoing approach to design.
Built on a celebrated Selmer foundation
The Signature Tenor reinvents the renowned Series III, a model that has played an important role in saxophone performance since its introduction in the 1990s. While retaining the familiar tonal character associated with the Series III, this updated design improves intonation and response throughout the instrument. The redesigned neck bore helps create more accurate octave relationships in the upper register, while also encouraging easier low-note response. This balanced approach delivers a versatile sound with warmth, projection, and a broad range of tonal colours suited to different musical styles.
Modern mechanics for smoother performance
Several key innovations have been adapted from Selmer Paris' Supreme saxophone range. The three-point neck receiver system improves the connection between the neck and body, helping create greater tonal consistency and resonance. A separate nickel-silver tightening ring increases density in this critical area, supporting projection and stability. The octave key mechanism uses Teflon supports to reduce friction, unwanted noise, and wear over time, resulting in lighter, smoother action. Together, these refinements contribute to a responsive playing experience with dependable long-term performance.
French craftsmanship spanning generations
Henri Selmer Paris has been designing and manufacturing wind instruments since 1885, with more than a century of saxophone-making expertise behind every Signature model. Over 850,000 saxophones have been produced in the company's French workshops, including many instruments that have helped define the sound of the saxophone. The Signature Tenor continues that tradition through careful construction, high-quality materials, and player-focused design. Natural mother-of-pearl key touches, leather pads with riveted metal resonators, and finely finished components all reflect the attention to detail that has made Selmer Paris a respected name among saxophonists worldwide.
