Selmer Paris 74F Reference 54 Tenor Saxophone - Dark Lacquer

A JAZZ FAVORITE

Inspired by the Mark VI model released in 1954, the Selmer Paris 74F Reference 54 Tenor Saxophone in dark lacquer is a professional saxophone that integrates the Mark VI's legendary acoustic characteristics with innovative modern key work and stable intonation. A major favorite among jazz saxophonists, the Reference 54 offers a rich, centered, throaty sound that even "barks" well in the lower register. The key work of the Reference 54 feels close to the body and is extremely fluid which reacts well to even the most wicked licks. Use of treated leather pads with plastic tone boosters projects the sound and adds flexibility. Includes a shaped case, a Selmer Paris S-80 C* mouthpiece, cap and ligature, and a variety of Selmer saxophone care products.
