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.

Are there any common reeds that work with the Contra-Alto clarinet?

My high school has an old Contra-Alto clarinet sitting in a locker that I want to learn, but I can’t play it very well because all of the reeds in the case are cracked and broken in some way. Does anyone know if it can take, like a tenor sax reed or bari sax reed or something like that, because our reed cabinet doesn’t have Contra-Alto reeds, and I don’t want to buy one if its the wrong size.

Sax reeds are longer than clarinet reeds. Sometimes they work but usually not. A bari sax reed is just about equal (but longer) to a bass clarinet reed. You’d need a bass sax reed for a contra and the bass sax reeds are way more rare than contra reeds. A bari sax reed is just a touch too narrow for the contra clarinet.

You don’t really want to play on reeds that were left in the case unless they’re new in the box, you don’t know where those have been. Go to your local music store and get an EEb Contra Clarinet reed or order one online.

Guide To Saxophones

Saxophones are conical-bored transposing steel or brass instruments. A member of the wood wind family of musical instruments, the saxophone is played with the help of a single reed mouthpiece, much like a clarinet. The saxophone was created by its inventor Adolphe Sax back in 1841.

One of the most common of all musical instruments used in modern music today is the saxophone. Used in almost every genre including jazz, rhythm and blues, hip hop, and other forms of contemporary music. There are many different kinds of saxophones, including the alto saxophone and the tenor saxophone.

The alto saxophone is a medium sized saxophone that is in the key of E flat. Well known as one of the most commonly played types of saxophones, the alto sax is the perfect started saxophone. The tenor saxophone is a type of saxophone that is much bigger than the traditional alto saxophone. Tuned to the key of B flat, the tenor saxophone also uses a much larger mouth piece.

There are many web sites online that have saxophones for sale too at reasonable and affordable prices. Some of the better brands and manufacturers to look for include Cannonball, P. Mauriat, Selmer, Yamaha, Unison, Leblanc/Vito, Keilwerth, Yanagisawa and Buffet Crampon. Be careful though when buying used saxophones, as theft is a common occurrence in bars and clubs where jazz bands are frequent. Tell tale signs of thieves selling stolen used instruments include filed off serial numbers, extremely cheap prices, and the seller’s ignorance of the used saxophone he or she is selling.

Does tenor or alto sax sound better playing slow standards from the 40s and 50s?

Q: I play clarinet, but I want to learn sax to play slower fingering songs like Stardust, Tenderly, Lulaby of Birdland etc. And I want to get a trio with a piano player and bass or drums. I like tenor sax but I wonder if alto sax might be best. Guidance needed!

A: If your a clarinetist go for a Tenor because it’s it B flat tuning just like a clarinet (or a trumpet) The alto is in E flat tuning and doesn’t sound as nice.
