Selmer has clearly listened to the criticisms of the Super Action 80 II and addressed them with the Signature. It’s a beautifully crafted horn with noticeably improved intonation and a darker, more focused tone, making it ideal for serious students and professional players seeking a refined Selmer experience. It's a significant upgrade, but the price reflects that.

PROS

- • The new S-bow bore delivers a noticeably richer, more focused lower register tone.
- • Art Déco engraving adds a level of aesthetic refinement rarely seen on saxophones.
- • Optimized ergonomics and Teflon bearings contribute to effortless, fast key action.
CONS
- • The premium-priced tag places it far beyond the reach of many aspiring players.

- • The included 'Concept' mouthpiece, while decent, is a stepping stone and will likely be upgraded.
