For me this is the first new Selmer tenor with a great tone for jazz, that Selmer have produced over the last 50 years. It's a great choice for cats doing ten thousand dollar jazz gigs.
Sounding awesome! At 0:56 he says he loves the color of it. I don’t think he’s referring to the sound as translated in the French legend, but to the actual lacquer color.
I just got my Selmer on sale, it's not a Supreme, but if you get a chance to get one new, do it!!!! just like Chris said, when you lay into it, to barks and does not let up. Just try Low Bb.....and the intonation is perfect. Thank you Selmer.
Selmer rocks! This tenor player won’t be rushing out anytime soon to buy the awesome Supreme because my Reference 54-that I purchased new-plays so otherworldly. If my Reference is ever stolen or lost, I would not hesitate to buy the latest and greatest Selmer because they reign “supreme” in the world of saxophones. Price is no object if the instrument plays the music I hear in my head. That is all.
It seems to me that playing a saxophone is about more than the sound everyone hears. For me it’s about how it sounds to me and how makes it me feel; it’s what I play for and if that’s a good feeling then I’ll most likely play better as a result. I have an old sax that makes me feel good because I’m playing a bit of history. I also have a new sax that makes me feel good because it takes care of intonation and frees my mind up to think about how I’m playing. This guy likely sounds good on any sax, but I’ll bet there is just a subset of them that makes him feel good too. I’m not quite so cynical that a good player will take a contract purely based on the money - after all, you have to play it day in, day out…
Obviously Chris sounds beautiful on this thing. But the thing about Chris is he would sound the exact same on ANY saxophone. The sound comes from the player, not the gear. The saxophone itself has very little impact on a person's sound, with mouthpiece and reed having the most impact. I'm sure the supreme sounds incredible, but it's nowhere near good enough to warrant spending $16K CAD
Re sound of instruments vs the player ........ I have had my 5 digit Selmer Mk6 alto for 49 years - it happened to be simply "a good 2nd hand sax" back then, the mystique hadn't built up around it - but out of interest I recently I tried the Selmer Supreme alto and was able to do a direct A-B test for a couple of hours. What was very apparent were the ergonomics; the key layout is so much better. I have a good sound on my alto, and I can honestly say that there is a very discernable difference in sound between the two instruments. I think that will be partly due to how the sax is set up, of course, and yes, I still sounded like me, but "different". So, I do not think that Chris Potter would sound the exact same on ANY saxophone. To reinforce this point..... Earlier this week I took my Reference 36 tenor to a concert for my friend to try (and he's a top level pro player, way, way better than me). He was using a Mk7 tenor with a dark Jody Jazz mp, and in the interval he did the A-B comparison. The difference was massive. His sound on the Ref 36 was fuller, bigger, broader, and he got a huge sound down the bottom end. I'm not talking about volume here, just tone/sound quality. Anyway, it might have confirmed his intent to get a 1936 Selmer SBA or a 2nd hand Reference 36
Nothing to say about the instrument, but the price. I can get a five digit here in Italy american engraved for 6.000 euros and i should spend for something less 12.000? Bring prices to reality!
Chris is awesome, but if you think this sounds anywhere close to him on a VI or SBA man, c'mon, no sizzle, upper register is very refined, very nice, F that, we want the smoke, that 'I might be in tune, or you might have to fight me for it' feel the VI's give, that tonal landscape to do what you want, lost in today's mass produced, you pay a premium but we try to make em as cheap as possible horns, I don't know where it went, but NO ONE has been able to recapture it, I don't think they ever will be able to.
I went to elementary through high school one grade behind Chris. He wss always an amazing player. So glad he has had such success, well deserved!

Must be great to be Chris Potter... get invited to the factory, make a two minute video, get a free horn
“I love the color”
Very good, Chris potter!
Sounding awesome! At 0:56 he says he loves the color of it. I don’t think he’s referring to the sound as translated in the French legend, but to the actual lacquer color.
Great horn but I still love the sound of the VI. God bless you. Bill. Uk
Living legend 💕👌
You can sell more if you brought the price down to reality☮️🎵🎶🎷
Well that’s with anything.
‘It’s very very good’ not sure that’s enough for me to want one 😂
Monsieur Selmer,si tu as du stock en trop,je suis là 😘
I just like hearing you play, Chris!
"maybe if we get chris potter to play it people will start spending 10k+ on our instrument"
Well, I understand that they’re selling as many as they can make.
People already spend that much on a mark 6
Exactly 😅
People already pay more than that for VIs and SBAs so
@@brycebaliko7050 not true , even in Paris France you can get a mk6 under 10 000
Chris Potter my favorite Saxophone Player is the best I want that Selmer Supreme Tenor
I got to try one the other day. I didn't sound like that. ;-)
(Seriously, though, great horn.)
Gran sonido!!!!

Chris would sound just as good on a Bundy!
I hope you were well compensated for this promo, because I have to say I like your sound better on your older horns 🎷🎷🎷
I heard the latest Eastman T 54 has a beautiful well well-balanced sound. check it out!
Siiiiii🔥
❤
I wished I could send Chris Potter the sound of my MarkVI
svp : quel bec et ouverture / anche et force il joue ?
What mouthpiece is he using there?
I wonder if he'll give up his SBA now?
That's all I could think throughout watching this. Did he get a new voice or did he get a REALLY good backup horn to take with him?
Unlikely considering that SBA of his used to be Michael Brecker's
He plays a 104 mark 6 alot now
do you know what mp he's playing on?@@veeps1817
It’s obviously a great horn, but I wonder if he would have said the same if he had no clue about what horn he was testing?
anyone know what song he was play at start

You are 100% correct .
Selma Sax are massively overrated .

Get over it selmer...nothing will ever beat a vintage VI or BA/SBA

Sounds pretty dry to me, but the color does look good

The sound, to me, sounds too straight with no bottom. If that could be fixed it would be amazing.
Be very clear, it isn’t the horn which is the reason it sounds good. A great player still sounds like himself on nearly any functioning horn.
Too much expensive i prefer the yam 62 only 3000€
@ytinf1090 and it's a joke 😃
I don’t think any horn is worth the price they want.
You can get better horns than this without spending 10 Gs
Yamaha 82 Z Custom звучит гораздо объёмнее и у неё больше гармоник
You got to be joking?? A Yamahahaha??
@@JosephSalinas-r4r лучше чем селмер супреме намного превосходнее
But he really plays a vintage horn. !!! good try , Selmer
desolé mais il a un son de merde
I think you must be overdue for your appointment with the audiologist.
Selmer is overrated
prefer my silver plate s80 ll than the supreme
ямаха 62 будет не хуже если не лучше.
62 - стандартный проф уровень. А тут то переосмысление всего опыта Selmer и 6ки в том числе. Supreme будет играть лучше, но ценник его - неподъемный
