He said if I was ever in Paris to please stop by the factory and I could see and play all the saxophones I wanted. He smiled then handed me his card and it turned out to be Jerome Selmer himself. I had played a matte lacquer finish horn before that I really didn't care for, but the one I was playing with a deep gold lacquer I liked very much. I was playing a Reference 54 alto, and this tall man with a French accent walked up to me smiling, said he was listening to me play and asked how I liked the horn.

The first time was in 2001 when the Reference Series was unveiled at the Marriot Marquis Hotel in New York City. I had the pleasure of meeting the President of Selmer, Jerome Selmer on two occasions. Mauriat are producing saxophones that compete well with Selmer, but they, like all modern saxophones, are based on the Selmer model. Today, companies like Keilwerth, Yamaha, Yanigasawa and P. Compared with some other manufacturers like Buffet, Conn, Buescher, Martin and the French manufacturer Cuesnon, Selmer appeared rather late in the game, but over the years, due to constant refinement and innovation, managed to outrun the field, until the aforementioned companies with the exception of Buffet stopped all saxophone production. I think it almost goes without saying that whenever you mention the saxophone, at some point if not right away, the name Selmer will be the one most associated with it.
