Legendary models may come and go, but one thing has always remained constant: evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new Signature Soprano represents the latest stage in that evolution. Developed from the Series III soprano, it introduces significant acoustic and mechanical improvements while incorporating several of the innovations first seen on the Supreme range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplacing both the Super Action 80 Series II and Series III sopranos, the Signature now becomes Selmer Paris’s definitive professional soprano saxophone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDrawing inspiration from the Series III\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince its introduction in 1993, the Series III has played a defining role in the development of the modern soprano saxophone. Selmer has wisely retained the essential character of this much-loved instrument while refining the areas that can make soprano playing particularly demanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRedesigned straight and curved necks, together with important changes to the tone-hole network, produce a warmer and more rounded sound with greater consistency between registers. Intonation has been further refined, the upper register feels more stable and the low and right-hand registers respond with greater reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a soprano that feels immediately accessible, allowing the player to relax and concentrate more fully on expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Signature also possesses a strong visual identity. Its intricate Art Deco engraving draws inspiration from the tools, flames, technical drawings and templates used by generations of craftspeople at the Selmer Paris factory. It is a fitting tribute to the traditional skills behind every instrument, presented with a distinctly modern finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAcoustics, Mechanics and Ergonomics\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Signature Soprano offers a warm, rounded and open sound across the entire range, avoiding the excessive tonal edge that can sometimes be associated with soprano saxophones. Its broader tonal profile and increased projection give the instrument plenty of presence while retaining the refinement and flexibility expected from Selmer Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntonation is exceptional even from the lowest notes through to the upper and altissimo registers. The increased stability of the high register is particularly noticeable at softer dynamics, while the dependable response of the low register and right-hand notes inspires confidence throughout the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo interchangeable necks are supplied. The straight neck provides a direct, precise response with a rich tone, while the curved neck offers greater roundness and allows the player to adopt a different playing position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new neck receiver uses a three-point concentric clamping system to create a more secure and consistent connection between the neck and body. Its separate nickel-silver tightening ring can be adjusted and adds greater density and strength to this acoustically sensitive area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA redesigned octave-key mechanism with Teflon supports provides a lighter, smoother action while reducing mechanical noise and wear. Natural mother-of-pearl key touches, leather pads with riveted metal resonators and fine-gold-plated metal thumb rests complete this beautifully refined setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eKey:\u003c\/strong\u003e B♭\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eRange:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low B♭ to high G\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lacquered\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eNecks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Straight and curved Signature necks\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eNeck Receiver:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three-point concentric clamping system with adjustable nickel-silver tightening ring\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eOctave Mechanism:\u003c\/strong\u003e Redesigned system with Teflon supports\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eKey Touches:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural white mother-of-pearl\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eThumb Rests:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine-gold-plated metal\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003ePads:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leather with riveted metal resonators\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eEngraving:\u003c\/strong\u003e Signature Art Deco engraving\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exclusive Signature case designed by BAM\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eMouthpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e Selmer Paris Concept mouthpiece with ligature and cap\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eAccessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e Neck strap, metal end plug, body and neck swabs, dual-material cleaning cloth and cork grease\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two years\u003cbr\u003e• Free professional setup and free check-over within one year\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eRecommended for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serious soprano players and alto or tenor players looking for an exceptionally accessible professional soprano\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStaff Review\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eComing soon.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Selmer Paris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57581432996213,"sku":"2312042016","price":6270200.0,"currency_code":"CLP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0301\/6081\/4139\/files\/Selmer-Signature-Soprano-4.jpg?v=1790343640","url":"https:\/\/sax.co.uk\/es-cl\/products\/selmer-signature-soprano-saxophone-gold-lacquer","provider":"SAX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
