Tenor Sax
A Brief History of the French Sachs manufacturing industry
In addition to Adolf Fusakesi manufactured in Belgium, a small number of prototypes, the French could say it is the birthplace of Sax, so we start with the introduction of France began. Here are the most famous of the two companies Selmer and Buffet-Crampon.
Selmer Paris
"Selmer Paris" Adolf Fusakesi through the acquisition of the factory so that it can even be traced back to 1842 history. Since the 20th century, 40 years Selmer has won the high reputation it has become the world's in the semi-professional and professional areas are most used saxophone. Selmer from 40's to 70's most of the development of technological innovation is also the rest of the world have adopted manufacturing saxophone. Including the right index finger, middle finger and ring finger three keys Sound hole position changes, Selmer's unique eight-degree increase would sound technology, plastic materials, and so the right hand thumb button.
Even from the perspective of the entire branch Selmer musical instruments is also indisputable is the world's most copied Sachs. 60s Japanese production of saxophone with Selmer Mark 6 is very similar, then flood the world market, Taiwan-made saxophone or even recklessly, almost 100% to copy Selmer products.
Selmer produced only the same model in accordance with the traditional series of saxophone, but also with other manufacturers is that it never produced a different low-priced for beginners to use instrument.
Selmer production includes almost no longer used bass saxophone, including all models of Sachs: down E-key Sopranino (high tone), reduced B-profile Soprano (Treble), lower E tone Alto (Tenor), lower B-key Teno (tenor) r, down E tone Baritone (on bass), and lower B-key Bass (bass). Sopranino and Soprano as sound principles of reason are made of straight pipe, Baritone last three decades Start with the bass A, Mark 6 as the last paragraph is only the bass drop B, Baritone has disappeared from the market.
Selmer series is the latest model 80 Super Action, 1981 began production in 1986, introduced the improved version of the 80 Super Action Serie II. The latest models is the 80 Super Action Serie III.
For decades Selmer on all models produced only painted gold and silver-plated saxophone, added since the 90s, a black lacquer species.
Buffet Crampon
Buffet Crampon company's history is more ancient, it began as early as 1868, manufacturing saxophone. From 1887 to 1912 alone, between Buffet and Sachs applied for 12 patents related to manufacturing. Buffet or even 30 years produced a very rare Kontrabass Sax (lower than the Baritone 8 degrees).
Buffet unable or unwilling to stand with an unstoppable momentum the antithesis of the development of Selmer. Selmer's most products are machine-building, Buffet is more of a small range of customers for the production of handmade musical instruments circle. When the 40 years since jazz musicians interested in Selmer, and even began to push the United States and the Selmer saxophone in the manufacturing industries, Buffet more likely to produce the interpretation of classical saxophone music. Because of this demand Sachs little, too few sales has led to factories closing down almost.
70 to 80 years Buffet introduced a well-known Prestige series, the tube body is made from pure copper, the models from Soprano to Baritone. Another one is made from brass and other manufacturing techniques the same S-1 series.
1981 Buffet-Crampon by Boosey Hawkes takeover. The early 90s because of too little demand for a period of time only in accordance with the Prestige series of copper-order production, by 1994 even the Prestige is also discontinued. In 1995, began producing brass system, S-3 series, the management body in France, manufacturing, mechanical parts from the same in 1989 by Boosey Hawkes acquired the German manufacturer Julius Keilwerth manufacturing.
Buffet saxophone on the market today is the S-3 series, with varnish and silver-plated two options. In recent years there has been a relatively inexpensive Evette series, manufactured by Taiwan for the Buffet.
