![]() ![]() ![]() The idea behind the Reference tenors is that they have the great tone quality of the Mark VI and Balanced Action but they take advantage of modern improvements in intonation and key work. These horns are neither reproductions of the classic models nor are they meant to replace Selmer’s top-of-the-line saxophone, the Series III. Often the wail has sounded more like: “Why won’t Selmer just make the Mark VI again!” Selmer has responded to the laments by bringing out two new tenors, the Reference 54 and the Reference 36, that are made in the spirit of the Mark VI and the Balanced Action, respectively. Saxophonists have been wailing for years, and not always on a blues or ballad.
