In 1920, the H\u0026amp;A Selmer store relocated to 117–119 West 46th Street. Seven years later, the operation moved to Elkhart, Indiana, where a factory was established at 1119 N. Main Street. There, Selmer Paris instruments were engraved, finished, and assembled for nearly 50 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1929, Henri Selmer acquired the workshop and assets of the Adolphe Sax company, making Selmer the successor to the inventor of the saxophone. From the 1930s onward, Selmer saxophones were increasingly adopted by leading musicians around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eModern Selmer saxophones trace their lineage through pioneering instruments from the Elkhart era and back to the very inception of the saxophone itself. This legacy of innovation and craftsmanship continues today, with Selmer recognized worldwide as the global standard in saxophone design and manufacture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Selmer saxophone lineage has evolved model to model since the 1920s, progressing through the Balanced Action, Super (Balanced) Action, and Mark VI eras, and culminating in the Signature as the latest iteration of this storied genealogy. The Signature USA exclusive model references the Elkhart-assembled era and is distributed solely through Conn Selmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA ring-style bell-to-body brace, Grenadilla wood end plug, and Soloist D mouthpiece pay further homage to Selmer heritage. Complementing the saxophone is a full accessory kit, including a swab and cleaning cloth imprinted with motifs from the engraving, echoed on the exterior pocket of the bespoke black case that secures the instrument. A Certificate of Authenticity documents the limited number of each saxophone produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach neck, featuring the classic blue “S” octave key logo, is meticulously paired to its body and marked with a unique serial number. Securing the neck to the body is Selmer’s nickel-silver concentric clamping ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe key action of the Signature USA is fast, light, and precise, with balanced and responsive spring action. Built with Selmer Paris precision and further set up by Conn Selmer’s Elkhart team, the Signature USA reflects the remarkable resonance, liveliness, and responsiveness of classic Selmers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a nod to Alexandre Selmer’s New York City shop addresses, a total of 86 tenors and 119 altos will be produced in the Signature USA NYC series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey: Bb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRange: low Bb to high F#\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited Art Deco-style NYC engraving (86 tenor, 119 alto)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNitrocellulose-based Elkhart Dark Lacquer finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium French-made pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDomed brushed nickel screw-back resonators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRing-style bell-to-body brace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrenadilla wood end plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerialized neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNickel-silver concentric clamping ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoloist D mouthpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBespoke case embossed with engraving motifs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertificate of Authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Selmer Paris\u003cbr\u003eModel: 84SIGUSA\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I879033-N-2-WHXB\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 648023363742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
