For my ears the Mark VI had a warmer, more dense sound than the Supreme. The Supreme for me had a metallic or thinner sound. That’s just my ears but I must say the distinction was very clear to me. I’ll take the Mark VI even if the Supreme has more advances. Thanks for the presentation! Great as usual.

I think that perhaps the Mark VI appeals to everyone more because it’s what we always hear on the old records and even though the sound of a saxophone itself is so subtle in comparison to one’s individual embouchure and mouthpiece and even neck, the mark VI is what we’re all nostalgic for. So for those who are truly more forward modern thinkers, they may not be affected by the Mark VI’s old charm.

Since the Mark VI was introduced in 1952, one would assume that there would be major advances in design and manufacturing technology after 70 years. That being said, I found the Mark VI to have a more pleasing sound to my ears. The Mark VI had a very warm and mellow sound, what my sax playing friends and I would call a "fat" sound. The Supreme had, in my opinion, a harsher sound. I think the Mark VI has more pleasing overtones, whereas the Supreme has tightened the overtones, which is possibly one reason why it plays more in tune. My father bought me my Mark VI tenor new in 1967. I have no reason at age 70 to swap it for the Supreme. I wish Selmer tremendous success in their saxophone business. Selmer is the true legacy of Adolph Sax's wonderful creation. Thanks for doing this comparison Jay. You are a strong force in promoting the saxophone. God Bless You.

Henri Selmer Paris has defined the modern saxophone with iconic designs like the Balanced Action, the Mark VI, the Super Action 80 Series II, the Series III, and the Reference horns. But here, they’ve created a brand new saxophone that incorporates all the best qualities of those legendary instruments — but manages to surpass them in every way.

As much as I respect the Mark VI for its role in jazz history, I’ve got to give it to the Supreme horn (which, fun fact, is named after John Coltrane’s mythical album).

@James-zw7by

50w↑69

From a purely auditory standpoint, they both sounded *incredible*, just absolutely beautiful, but something about the Mark VI just pleased my soul to listen to. It’s weird, but I can’t explain it any other way. The Supreme was little fuzzier, although the burning mouthpiece tends to do that, and I just didn’t think it had quite that same quality as the Mark VI does. All in all, both very good sounding tenors, for sure.

@juliovitolo5356

50w↑16

I totally agree. The VI had more resonance, warmth and density. The VI is still my choice. For me it wasn’t even close…. That subtle difference made the difference!

@SAXMINISTRY

50w↑10

I also agree. A Mark VI just sings (almost human-like), which makes you want to listen; whereas modern horns are more focused on projection, which allows you to be heard. I’d much rather my tone be captivating enough to make you want to listen over just being heard 🤷🏽‍♂️

@daniel_moretti

I think two advantages Mark VI's have in comparisons is that they are usually the testers personal horn. And their actions have been broken in. I think their extra comfort comes out in the playing.

I played modern Selmers for years (Sa80, SII, SIII…), and for a long time I didn’t understand that MkVI fan thing, because every time I tried one it wasn’t as good as my modern horns. Until the day I tried one, built in 1963, that seduced me in 3 notes! (18 years ago). I’m still playing it today and got the chance to compare it to the Suprême a couple of weeks ago. I agree with you, the Suprême is better in every possible way! Can’t wait to get mine! 🎷🎶🎵😊 Btw great revue 👏👏👏

Loved hearing these comparisons! To my ears, your sound on the Mark VI and the Supreme were roughly the same. Your TWO33 seemed to emphasize the mid-to-low frequencies while the Supreme had more bite in the upper frequencies. None of them was "better" than the other, just different. All of them sound fantastic!

Playing both classical and jazz professionally, I can say that the supreme when I tried it felt like an amazing allrounder. I tried it against several other horns, with the yanagisawa wo37 as it's main contender, being roughly the main price in my area. I personally preferred the supreme, but some of my musician friends preferred the yanagisawa. It's an amazing instrument that felt like a clear improvement to me over almost all the other modern options out there. Mark VI's are undefeated to me when it comes to being fun to play, but modern Selmers are still my go to for any professional gig.

The introduction of the Supreme was a surprise to me several months ago when I was at my local music store. There, they told me about it and I recalled hearing about it from another college teaching colleague. Wow. The alto I tried was clearly a GREAT instrument and dare I say, better than the Mark VI tenor and SBA I own as well my VI alto. Thinking about the Larry Teal book and the "tendencies of tuning" table included in this resource, it reminds me that I have learned to adjust for the discrepancies of of the VI and similar instruments. This would result in me having to relearn my intonation on all my saxophones soprano to baritone. That said, I was not willing to pony up the $$ to upgrade. In the end, I'll sound like me. For younger players who have not already learned the tendencies of the Mark VI intonation, the Supreme would surely make their job of playing easier!

@whyneaux

Thanks for the review! Your content is always enjoyed and appreciated. I'm a Berklee Alum from the 70's and have owned many Mark VI's, from a '57 to a '71. They generally do play and sound great, but can be hit & miss. Not all are great horns. And most are difficult to control the intonation; it's something you have to learn with each of them. I've also had a YAS-875 and YAS-82ZII. They're decent enough but they truly are thinner sounding. I recently purchased the Selmer Supreme. And while many say the Mark VI's are better, I disagree. I expect many players have had a Mark VI for years and balk at the price of the Supreme. This may part of the reason for some of the bias. It's easy to be comfortable with a familiar instrument and be hesitant to try something new. My perception of the Supreme is that it has a very warm, full and round tone. On top of it, the intonation is head & shoulders above the MK VI. Additionally, the action is smoother and faster. It's a joy to play! The use of Teflon inside the octave key system is inspired. The included Concept mouthpiece pairs with the horn extremely well and the sax just performs flawlessly up and down the entire range. Note that Selmer has raised the price on these Supremes, which says something. It's my opinion the Supreme is the new Mark VI and outshines it in most ways. If you're a younger player considering moving up to a Mark VI, I would seriously recommend the Supreme over spinning the wheel and hoping you get a decent Mark VI.

@lukeserrano62

50w↑5

Many thanks Jay for such a well considered and presented review. There’s a great deal of price hysteria surrounding the instrument, in a ‘how dare they’ kind of way. The Supremes imo (both alto - I’m a very fortunate and proud owner- and tenor) have a glowing, golden resonance around the core sound that I think is a truly new element in saxophone tone evolution. It’s hard to hear it on recordings but in person it’s really noticeable. It gives the horn an amazingly special presence. Sometimes I find it almost too intoxicating!

tenor saxophones
I played my Mark VI since 1995. Before 2 years I buyed a Reference 32, because I like to have a brand new saxophone no one has played before.
The resistance of the Reference key action is, for me, so high I could not use the reference 32 properly, therefore i still using my Mark VI exclusive.
Hint in 1994 Mark VI was a litle cheaper than brand new Selmer Super Action II (?) tenor series.

on sound i can nothing say, its you, on both horns. Differences are, for me, if i think i can hear them, very small. Used Apple Max Pro earphones via bluetooth...

@watermelonhelmet6854

It's fun how different the perception is between players and non-players.
I'm a guitarist, give me an A to B between two different guitars and I can immediately hear major differences. Not being a sax player and having no experience of playing any brass instrument at all, I could only just barely tell the difference... and honestly would say they sound different, but I couldn't point to one that was 'better'.
Fair enough, I'm listening to it youtube with a pair of halfway decent headphones, so maybe I'd have a different opinion in the room.... but I do think that as musicians, we tend to obsess over nuances of our instruments that the average listener would never notice, especially when listening to that instrument in a full mix.

For a new horn closing my eyes with a phones speakers it was hard to tell any major difference between mark 6 and the supreme.

Great review. In your video, I preferred the sound and character of the Supreme. In early Jan 2023, I played a $6K Mark VI at the International Saxophone Symposium and was rather amazed. I had played a Mark VI almost a decade ago that was nothing to write home about. When I played the VI at the Symposium, the feel and tone made me think, "OK, THIS is the magic." I played a Supreme at Chuck Levin's (Wheaton, MD) about a week ago, and the Supreme had that same VI magic: feel, tone, projection, ease of play. Ten years ago, I was in the market for a new tenor. The BEST tenor I played was a Selmer SA80 Series III Jubilee edition - remarkable horn. At $6K, way out of my price range. The horn I bought and have been playing ever since with great joy was a Cannonball Vintage Reborn tenor (likely Cannonball's version of a VI), at less than half the price of the Selmer Jubilee.

I really like the presentation of the history with Selmer and also discussion about all of the other reasons one would buy a saxophone besides than how it plays. When comparing the sound of the three, they all sound great. I could hear the differences but I can't decide which one is necessarily better than the other. I sensed you were most comfortable on the Yani, but the fact that I know you prefer Yani's may have influenced my preception. My take away after watching this is that your sound comes out in all of them, and each player should get the saxophone that makes them personally feel the best. Again, fantastic video.

@jayramsey690

48w↑4

Thanks for this review! I have played the supreme tenor (and a few altos) against other tenors modern and vintage. Here’s my take:
I think if development of the saxophone as an “S” curve. Back 100 years ago there were definite improvements to be made. Deleting stuff like trill Eb, the G# trill and adding stuff like low C# lock and high f#. It makes me wonder what Eddie Trumbauer, Charlie Parker, Lester Young and Illinois Jacquet would have thought of the Yamaha 23! In other words, devepment has come so far, that most student level horns trump the nicest horn you could get 100 years ago (maybe even 50 to 60 years ago). Much if this development was done throughout the manufacturers through the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. This means nowadays, there just isn’t the progress to be made. The key layout is nearly the same (although not I interchangeable) between almost all horns, body taper is pretty consistent, and there is little variation between tone hole sizes (although there is some). To me, this means there is little mechanical difference between a Yamaha Custom, Yanagisawa, TM Custom, Lake City, Cannonball or P.Mauriat, and yes, Even a Selmer, even if it is a Supreme. So in my opinion , the value difference in these horns is in how they feel/sound. Form that point a $4000 might be a better fit than a $10,000 horn. The Supreme would have to be at least two times better, to even begin competing at that price point. But for that 10 grand price, you get a tenor, made of brass, lacquer finish, pivot screws, hinge screws, standard taper, no deviation in key layout/engineering-just like a $2500 Jupiter. So is the sound $7500 better? I think my old Mark 6, and the TM tenors, (and others) go toe to toe with the supreme, at literally half the price. There just doesn’t seem to be that much innovation and dramatic improvement left (say since the series 3, and other competitors) yo ask for this price. Great horn? Yes! Worth the price? I have a hard time seeing why.

Fantastic review. I'd rank these three: Yanagisawa, Mark VI, then the Supreme. However, the Supreme and the Mark VI are closer than I expected. The Supreme is a bit brighter than the VI, but I'm not sure if that is due to the composition of the brass used in the 66XXX series or the variation in lacquer, but Selmer certainly made a great horn for the modern age. Another kudos for explaining the neck issue with the VI, as that is one of the upgrades I've had on my list for my 169XXX model for quite some time. I'll need to check out the KB models in the near future, thanks for the suggestion.

Great video Jay, I think that the sound of the supreme is actually a little bit better than the yani. And it's very interesting your take on how much better the supreme is than a Mark VI. I'm currently in the market for another tenor and thinking of the supreme thanks appreciate it

Geez, Jay. One of the best reviews I've ever seen of saxophones. Of damn near any gear, actually. Thanks so much! My opinion? The Supreme is probably the best. The VI has kind of a subtle "husky" thing that is lacking in both the newer horns-I miss that. The Supreme sounds more like the VI than the Yani-the Yani is very smooth. Very beautiful, almost too smooth. The Supreme has a bit of that Selmer "rat" or ring in the note. An aside here -Yanagisawas play great; in '07 I was on tour in Japan and music store where we were doing a clinic had darn near every Yani model there (no sopraninos), SATB, in brass, bronze, and most of the silver configurations including solid silver. And they were all "pink gold" plated. Damn near needed sunglasses to walk in the room! They all played very well, but independently my buddy Jay & I both liked a solid silver one piece soprano-the 9030, I think. I play a very early Yamaha 62; Jay plays a Yani Elimona. Tenor, I play either a 50k or a 54k SBA, or one of two Super 20's (a 346k, silver neck, a 298k Silver Sonic(!!!). Usually an SBA. Alto, either a 78k or a 189k VI-very similar, actually, both "mid bow" horns, or one of three Super 20 Altos. All that said, I'm itchin' to try the Supreme. Oh-I know EXACTLY what you mean about spring tension. Yikes! Why? I play a lot of flute-I like light action and no pad noise flappin at me. That's just my two bucks worth, two cents corrected for inflation. Oh-my folks bought me my first VI alto in 1967 for my 12th b-day, brand new, for $425. Oh, how things have changed. Jay, you're beautiful, baybee. Keep up the fine work-no one will go wrong if they just take your advice on "all things saxophone" and in fact, will be very well served. -jg
