      Yes - you should instead take it in to a qualified repair shop and have them perform a professional cleaning/service. Then AFTER your instrument is back to proper working order, incorporate regular cleanings into your maintenance routine. Do not try and do this cleaning if you have stuck parts or damage.

    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.

    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!

    • @KesslerCustom
      @KesslerCustom 9 місяців тому

      Glad to help. Yes, the Supreme has more presence for sure, and brilliance. The Signature / Signature neck adds more traditional focus/core/warmth that is more commonly associated with Selmer tenors in to play on both horns.

    • @KesslerCustom
      @KesslerCustom 9 місяців тому

      Total personal preference in the end. The Signature is definitely more "traditional" Selmer with a darker, more focused tone - but it is also more resistant. So if a player prefers less resistance, then they will find the Supreme to fit more of their liking. The Supreme is more open of a sound as well. All personal preference. When testing with Charles, my personal favorite sound was the Signature body with the Supreme neck, but Charles preferred the Supreme body with the Signature neck. All depends on the person!

    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. 😁

  • @saxofonistacr
    @saxofonistacr Рік тому

    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
