"Paris, Selmer" company began to manufacture saxophone in 192 1 year. By purchasing the factory in adolphe sax, its history can even be traced back to 1842. Selmer has won a high reputation since the 1940s, and it has become the most widely used saxophone in semi-professional and professional fields in the world. Most of the technological innovations developed by Selmer in the 1940s and 1970s have also been adopted by other saxophone manufacturers in the world. These include the change of the position of the sound hole of the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of the right hand, Selmer's unique technology of raising the sound by eight degrees, the plastic thumb button of the right hand and so on.

Even from the perspective of the whole instrument, Selmer is undoubtedly the most imitated saxophone in the world. The first Japanese saxophone produced in 1960s was very similar to Selmer Mark 6. Later, saxophones produced in Taiwan Province province flooded the world market, and even almost 100% copied Selmer's products without scruple.

Selmer's latest model series is 80 Super Action, 198 1 started production, and 1986 introduced the improved 80 Super Action Series II. At present, the latest model is 80 super-action Serie III, and the earliest is a detachable neck and a high G soprano. In the same year, the welding area of the body of the third-class tenor who appeared in the musical instrument exhibition was reduced by 30%.
