I thought about changing my tenor sax for a while. I bought my T992 Bronze Yanagasawa five years ago, after trying all tenors professional level in the market at the time. My Yanagasawa serves me very well. He came with me throughout my studies in music and entertainment numerous band extended to all genres from jazz to a tour on rock and roll. I play now (mainly tenor, baritone saxophone but also and flute) in one of the top function bands in the Middle North. Working with a great bunch of musicians I wanted to check again on the market to absolutely sure that my instrument was to make the best sound possible.

When I need saxophone research that I visit the Emporium Sax, Newcastle upon Tyne. The owner, John Silvester has excellent expertise and there is always a good range of instruments new and used try. I played all the professional tenor saxophones in new and used, including the latest models and Yanagasawa Selmer. Although the Mk6 and Selmer Reference 36 models and Yanagasawa were good, the Selmer Reference 54 really stands out from the rest by far exceeded my expectations. I have not hesitated to go ahead with a business purchase.

Coincidentally, I saw this sax is accurate played on stage at the Sage Gateshead only days before in the "Back to the Basie big band." When I saw him close and played myself I immediately fell in love with her. The beautiful antique finish is unusual yet so skillfully done, but also reference 54 provides a fat solid sound track to the lower end, it is great key action and allows me to play sub-tones with a quality that I had never able to reach before. The accuracy of Sax's action also reduces the likelihood of problems adjusting to a concert. The group I work in an extremely large directory and I have to play a variety of tones and harmonics to create different atmospheres. Deep textures cream grating tones and sounds with this serious sax has everything and it is just to play. Oh, and there is a bonus – a great thing that even has a holder card on the front!

If you can afford to make the investment, the tenor sax is a must try for any professional.
