Why don't they stop playing shit and play something decent?

In poche parole, buonissimo👍👌

I collect saxophones. Several years ago I purchased what I thought was a Modele 26. By the serial number it was manufactured in 1928, but it had no model number. Now, after seeing your interesting video, I know it to be a Large Bore. My question is, my horn has the same jeweled touch pieces as the one at the beginning of the video. Do you know what the story is on this? I thought possible this was added later by a repairer to "jazz up" the instrument, although it looks like it came out of the factory like that. Was this some sort of custom job the factory offered?

PS you are correct that the Recital is a unique clarinet and feels strange initially because of it’s weight and thickness. It is however a very flexible and has a “dark” tone. It is similar in feel to the large bore English clarinets. The Ben Haim is a terrific piece as well. Thank you once again for your beautiful playing. By. Uk

So what does Doug's statement really mean? That Selmer does not produce homogenous instrument across registers?. Or that it does? Is he insulting, or praising Selmer's efforts? Unhomogenous instrument also means technically unpredictable instrument. Does he realise what is he implying, or even talking about?

Max it,s cool) Who now what melody on 2:33???

Very interesting approach to his choice of saxophone and it's homogenous nature.

Nice sounding horns, great band, what meter is this in 7/8?

First. My favorite tune. ❤

Cool colaboration 🎷😎🎶

thank you SELMER!

My favorite Songs

Thanks Douglas for your Selmer Research. I always knew my 88xxx VI alto was a long bow but never noticed the two tildes. I love how it plays and will never part with it. Great to know more of the history behind these classic intstruments

Great interview...... Great explanation about room size, higher celing, and allow the sound wave to meet its full peak...

❤

grande Matteo..ma questo doppio mento....

Quite remarkable. How fortunate that the stars aligned, and one individual had the curiosity and initiative to pursue such a project, the knowledge and skills to make it feasible, and the freedom to spend the necessary amount of time devoted to it. Also, I have had the pleasure of meeting M. Florent Milhaud several times; he is very personable, generous, and a great ambassador for the company. Selmer is lucky to have him.

amazing work and effort

great job! Thanks

Thanks for your great and very special work!!

Great story and full of dedication. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. What is the email address? I have some vintage Selmer instruments that I would love to have information about. ⚡🎷

Now I understand why its so exspensive

Thank you for your dedication and enthusiasm teaching us about saxophone history. God bless you. Bill. Uk

This is quite an incredible story of dedication and persistence. Wow!. As many saxophone players I have developed a "relationship" with my Selmer SAII since 1988. I realize that you may be inundated by this types of request but would love it if you were willing to provide fabrication details of my saxophone. Would this be an option?

Is this mouthpiece made by molded hard rubber or by milling rod rubber piece?

Hey Douglas ! Greetings from Kyiv , Ukraine !!!

I want a Selmer Super Action 80 Tenor and Selmer Mark VI Soprano

What nonsense. He hasn’t dissed any of those players. You should study him more.

Beautiful 🎉🎉🎉

I’m not even a sax player. I’m just fascinated by the history behind instruments, regardless of what it is. 😊

I have an American setup alto 140xxx that has the vertical mark VI stamp just near the palm keys, also the serial number is hand written on the back of the neck octave ( you can only see this once taken off ) I guess this was to match the horn in the box when shipped from Paris.

what is that wicked piece in the background?

Thank you for your video Sir. Selmer make great clarinets and mouthpieces. I have not played your particular model but I know that it will be great, according to your taste. I have been playing the Recital clarinet which is very flexible and plays a bit like the old British clarinets. I hope that more players will see your video and give your instruments a try Selmer make great clarinets as well as saxophones. Their new range of mouthpieces are also excellent too. I have found that they work great with synthetic reeds as well as natural cane. It’s time to discover Selmer clarinets. God bless you. Bill. Uk 🎶

Thank you. Great to see something of the detail and care that goes into Selmer saxophones. They also make amazing clarinets as well. God bless you all. Bill. Uk 🎷🎷🎷

La plus belle ❤️

I want to be part of the Selmer Ambassador

Siiiii🙌👏

Beautiful saxophone. Beautiful playing God bless you. Bill. Uk 🎷🎷🎷

Thank you Fabian for your hard work and dedication in producing these beautiful saxophones I first heard a Selmer saxophone when my clarinet teacher, the late James Joseph played me his in the fifties and that special sound stuck in my head. I have several Selmer products which are unique. God bless you and yours Fabian you have a great team. Bill. Uk 🎷🎷🎷

Merci Beauvoir. Elliot. You are doing a great job working for the number one saxophone company company in the world. I hope to visit you sometime in the future. May God bless you, yours and your colleagues at Selmer Paris. 🎷🎷🎷

Great horn. I bought one years ago for a school I was teaching at in the Uk. I don’t know where it is now! Selmer horns are just the best. Thanks for your video. God bless. Bill. Uk

Ps enjoy your playing as well as the making. Bill. Uk 🙏🎶🎷

I want to be in the Selmer Saxophone Family too

Ps Focus arrived today from Selmer Paris beautifully packaged. Articulation is fantastic! Works well on R 13 as well as Selmer clarinets. Give it a try. Concept a bit more open. Bill. Uk

Really awesome! The bari can be a soothing sounding instrument, and Matthieu exemplifies this idea.

Thank you Wesley for your playing this wonderful new clarinet. Looking forward to trying it! All the Selmer clarinets have their own distinctive sounds. And thank you too Stephan. The Evolution technology sounds a great idea. Selmer are a great innovative company producing great clarinets as well as saxophones. God bless you both and all at Selmer! Bill. Uk 🎶🎶🎶
