Acoustics, ergonomic features and aesthetics evoke the spirit of this celebrated model : rich, round tone colour, very centred blowing and exceptional tuning balance. Also referring to model numbers until Selmer made the Reference 54 model, there were few people who new that the Model 54 is the Model number for the Mark 6. The Contour S 3.

This is the rich gold lacquer finish Ref 54 model. The 'Reference' Alto exhibits a strong personality for an instrument of such modern design and manufacture, and each musician will recognise the original Mark VI feeling.

This really is an amazing all round Sax for any genre in any situation. With a hand engraved bell and Reference series case included the Ref 54 not only plays the part but its looks match the premium quality we have come to expect from Selmer in the 21st century. This design feature, combined with the Mark VI dimensions on the crook, add up to give the Ref 54 a slightly more centred, punchy sound than the broader less focussed Ref 36. The Reference 54 Tenor model has a slightly narrower bow to bell junction than the wider Ref 36 model. The bore design of the Reference 54 alto adds a certain extra amount of resistance through the bow section of the horn. It loves to be blown hard and powerful However, this is actually necessary to really play this horn well.

The cheap Asian horns fill what looks to be a growing need for affordable gear and maybe they end up being as good as those $100 Stratocaster copies that come bundled with a shitty amp, or better.The Selmer Reference series Saxophones have helped put Selmer back in their rightful place at the top of the Sax Manufacturing tree. New, name-brand student horns are expensive and not everyone has the ability to rent and/or borrow from their schools. Sure you can go on ebay and reverb and find some cheap vintage student altos and the such - often the've been beaten to crap or stored in questionable environments. Not everyone has the time or knowledge and/or means to pick up a quality used horn. The cheap Asian horns are great for increased accessibility for new players. Now if it was A 'Selma' and featured Marge Simpson's growling sister engraved on the bell.that's a winner. Mouthpiece with ligature max height : 45mm The mouthpieces are not included in the sale. For 4 baritone mpc or 8 tenor mpc or 10 alto mpc or 12 soprano mpc. I'm not a fan of the counterfeit aspect - I also think the counterfeiting a Selmer is ridiculous.because the only people who care that much about playing a Selmer want to play a real one. External dimensions : 370 x 70x 85mm, internal dimensions : 300 x 215 x 40mm. More people learning and playing musical instruments? Hell yeah.
