What would be the intended difference between a Series II and the Reference 54?

Definitely Reference!!!

What if I can't by that stuff bro.

I might fly to Vegas just for a lesson with you Charles. I've been following you for over 20 years

i cant remove the screw thing its too tight

🔥🎷🔥

One of my slides won’t move, that gonna be a problem when I give it a bath?

I tried the signature in the UK. and it is one great horn!

Great reviews- I tried the signature tenor for almost a month and sent it back to the store, as much as I loved the Signature I have the desire to try the Supreme before making the financial decision of purchasing one of them for good, I also tried the Supreme neck on the Signature and it was fantastic. I will try the Supreme once it is available but I think you can`t go wrong with any of these horns and BTW, I think I will be selling my 1963 Mark VI once I try the Supreme.

Amazing tone quality. Superb playing!❤

Charles McNeal I’ve found another hero! I love your style. I’ve been so impressed all day with the Signature and then I heard you on the Supreme with this neck change, the original set up has so much quality and with the Signature neck there’s a lot of punch! I like that Supreme!

Was he playing on the Series II Jubilee? If not, would you get a similar effect with a Series III neck on a Series II Jubilee?

Thank You for Posting !

Then you just put the mouthpiece in place and you're all set, right?

Sounds good!

Good video. Howarths make exquisitely exceptional Oboes! My LXV sings when played. 😀 BTW...Howarths also make all the Oboe versions, bassoons, Clarinets, Flutes, etc. They do not make every instrument like Buffet Campion or Yamaha... Howarths do make most woodwind instruments.

Will this make the trumpet sound better?

Brass instruments are like guns. often times, you have to disassemble them to get them cleaned up so that they stay in good shape. a dirty instrument gives poor output.

I like the signature more...supreme is more open but signature is more centered and compact,more dense sound

Thx Charles, sounding terrific and really appreciate your thoughts on them!!

Looks like I need to pick up a Signature neck to go with the Supreme now.

Fantastic playing, loved it. There is something about the Supreme that I really appreciate. It has a big bolstering, fill the room kind of presence about it. The Signature neck on the Supreme seems to bring a focus to its sound. The brushed finish on the Supreme takes it to the next level. Thanks goes out to Kessler and Sons for putting this review together. Thank You!

Both sound very good to my ear. Between these two I lean towards the Supreme with its standard neck. I own the Supreme myself and it's a very dynamic soulful instrument.

They both sound dark

Great playing ! And some valuable insights…

i would get the Supreme with both necks.

Great review!!!

What mpc and reed are you using?

The new Selmer signature is better than Supreme. It's darker. Supreme is annoying and it's bad. I don't understand the people who like him.

I like him !

I kinda liked the Signature better!

Yeah Charles!

first

Just coming back to this. Now this if a F******** review!!!! Bravo.

thank you for this Guide I needed to clean my trumpet before the school year I needed to clean my trumpet before the school year and this helped a lot and this helped a lot I needed to clean my trumpet before the school year and this helped a lot

Hands down, the new Supreme beats the other two. Much cleaner sound with very crisp intonation. Hope the new Selmer tenor follows suit. 👍

Wow! You really made the SA80II sing, Charles, especially when playing the blues. Having said that, the Supreme and the Reference 54 outshine it. To my untrained ear, the Reference slightly edged out the Supreme in tone. I dunno, it has a slightly more vibrant feel to me. I guess the real difference between the two is the player's feedback. Which horn made it easier for the player to express himself or herself. Great comparison video. Had to watch it several times. 😁

I’ve played Series 3 (gold plated) neck on both my Reference saxes (54 alto and 36 tenor). Great combos, and far better than the originals. The Series 3 neck there really opened that Series 2 up. Good sound advice there from a master. 🙏

Ty it help me clean my insides

SA80 SII

How long should I let everything air dry?

So, I'm a broke student and bought an old trombone for 150 bucks. I tried to run a snake through it and it was black when it came out.

It is way easier to compare if you switch quickly from one sax to the other in the edition, I can't tell any significant difference, most of the difference usually is how it sounds to the player live, and how it feels when you blow. Other very important is how well the sax is constructed, will it stay long in adjustment? will the metal of the keys bend easier? will the laquer last long? There are some Yanis from the 80's with some very decent looks still. I have a very nice sounding and looking sax but, the laquer started to go out very quickly with only normal use. It goes out of adjustment quicker, One post was poorly solder. And so on

Excellent video! My Artist Series will soon be ready for its first bath! Thank you!

Would the III neck on the reference make as big a change (improvement to my ears) as it did on the II?

Charles for me is not only a super saxophonist but a great character as well .

sa80 for the win.

This will help when I need to clean my trumpet 😊

Many thousands of dollars separate these horns and yet the Kessler’s warm, pleasing tone keeps right up with the top of the line Selmer. I play a hand made Kessler Custom soprano and I’m continually impressed with it’s sound, intonation and key action (for a “budget” instrument).

My trumpet has a few splotches and specks where it's not shiny like the rest. Will washing my trumpet fix these?
