History Notes by Henri SELMER ParisHistory Notes #12: The Super Action 80For the last episode of the season, Douglas Pipher talks about the last historic saxophone made by Henri SELMER Paris: the Super Action 80, which would be followed a few years later by the Super Action Series II and Series III saxophones.2022-10-2203 min
History Notes by Henri SELMER ParisHistory Notes #11: The Mark VIITransition between the Mark VI and the Super Action 80, the Mark VII was marketed for 4 years. It offers a powerful sound, particularly rich in high harmonics, corresponding to the needs of the time and the advent of rock and pop music. Douglas Pipher tells us more about the production of this instrument.
"For the past 30 or 40 years, serial number charts that have been published tend to list the Mark VII as starting at 231,000 serial number. This is incorrect but there's a rational explanation as to why it happened..."

History Notes by Henri SELMER ParisHistory Notes #08 : Production during World War IIOn the eve of the Second World War, Henri SELMER Paris enjoyed an international popularity, thanks in particular to the success of the mythical Balanced Action, whose sales continued to increase. Douglas Pipher explains how the company was able to continue its activity, in a very limited way, from 1939 to 1945.
"In 1939, Germany, France, and England all declared war on each other. On may 10th 1940 the Germans attacked through Belgium into France. On June 14th 1940, Paris fell to the Germans. We could think that production would likely stop cold, but amazingly, in a much smaller capacity, Henri SELMER Paris w...2022-05-0204 min
History Notes by Henri SELMER ParisHistory Notes #07 : Last Super Sax Today, Douglas Pipher examines the history of rare and little-known instruments...
"We're going to talk today about the very last two iterations of the Selmer super sax series. The first one was a number of Radio Improved instruments that were built well into Balanced Action production. I call these the late Radio Improved. The second is probably the most iconic niche product SELMER made, known as the Dorsey."

History Notes by Henri SELMER ParisHistory Notes #04 : Cigar CutterOur guide Douglas Pipher tells us in this new episode about the mythical Cigar Cutter, the first of the SELMER Super Sax.
"Anyone who's interested in old saxophones is aware of the SELMER Super Sax, the SSS logo on the instrument. It has become synonymous with the octave mechanism that was introduced at the same time which resembled a cigar cutter that clips the end of your cigar. So the saxophone became known as the Cigar Cutter. "

" In 1928, Henri SELMER Paris decided to stop putting a model stamp on their instruments. So the next range of instruments, from 1928 to 1931, have become known as the Large Bore. This is because the bore at the top of the body, where the neck is attached, changed for the Altos, and the Altos only..."
