In this video Sam & Simon discuss and demonstrate three different Selmer Saxophones. We compare the new Signature model with the Series III (which it was inspired by) AND we throw in a vintage 1967 Mark VI for good measure!

These videos always bring a smile. Equally, frustration that I can't afford one of these amazing instruments for myself!! Keep the videos coming chaps.

Interesting to hear the Signature sounding really good and appreciated by many pro who have been comparing it across different RU-vid channels. To my ears (and sound preference), the Supreme sounds slightly better than the Signature but the Signature is by no means inferior to the Supreme. I'd rather stretch myself and buy the Supreme. Thanks for comparing the different saxes on your channel. Keep them coming. Love it!

If I had 10k to spend and the choice is Supreme, Signature, or MK VI; I’d pick the Supreme.

I'm not sure I can agree with the comment about the ser3. I have one, bought it in 2001. They have been making the ser3 for almost 30 years, but you would be hard pushed to find one on the 2nd hand market, but you can find a good selection of Mk6's. So why is that? Because the Ser3 is a great Selmer.

That is not really true, the Serie III was a great horn, and release in 1995, people who jump the wagon are mostly jazz players who prefer to perform standing, many classical players kept their II. 5 years later in 2000 the reference series was released and most people just bypass the III in favour of 36 or 54 (I personally like the 34 more than III but did not like the 54) Really there are a lot less people buying and playing the III, only seen it a few times in performances, in college where people uses all sorts of horn people would use II when it comes to Selmer or well heeled ones play Reference, not many III out there, there are even more MK VI players than the III This is not a problem with the saxophone but competing lineup from Selmer, that's why they discontinue the III.

Another great video, gents! I think that these will become a SUPERB sax to grab 5-8 years from now on the used market as they'll depreciate significantly, like Selmer always do. The new price is too close to what someone can score a minty SBA or pristine VI for, so that's ridiculous when one considers the AMAZING new-condition horns at 1/3 the price like the Ishimori, the Mauriat System 76, and the exceptional Peter Ponzol Pro One Cryo models that also have that "Mojo" built in and can go toe-to-toe with any well set up Supreme. Used will be the way to go with these! Professional West Coast artists in the USA are currently stating they'd love to endorse a no-cost "Gratis" Signature/Supreme from Selmer, but have no desire to purchase outright.

Great review. Seems fair as opposed to other reviews.

Hello, which mouthpiece with which opening and which reed did you play these saxophones? Thank you.

I liked the sound of the series iii better than that of the Signature. I thought it was more interesting, but I do admit I'm not a big fan of the Selmer sound and the series iii did not sound like a Selmer... The Mark VI sounded best, I thought. Really pretty.

Signature most open /responsive, MK 6 bit stuffy,but more 'soul'. As repair tech/ player, have played so many MK6's, and this one is not one of the best....try the sig or supreme neck on Mk 6 if it fits for fun. I use a Bird alto neck on my old Mk 6 and really makes a difference 😂

Series III sounds dead compared to Mk6. But even overhauled Mk6 loses breath against Signature and it can't compete. Signature is a superior instrument, hands down: more overtones, breadth, brilliance, responsiveness, intonation, tonal consistency, versatility, etc.
