Elaborate Art Deco–style engraving adorns the bell, bow, and body of the Signature USA NYC model, featuring motifs and icons from ages past alongside a portrait of the New York City skyline. The instrument is finished in a unique nitrocellulose-based Elkhart Dark Lacquer. Premium French-made pads are fitted with a modern revival of 1950s ToneX resonators: domed, machined, solid-nickel discs with reusable screw-back fittings.

A ring-style bell-to-body brace, Grenadilla wood end plug, and Soloist D mouthpiece pay further homage to Selmer heritage. Complementing the saxophone is a full accessory kit, including a swab and cleaning cloth imprinted with motifs from the
engraving, echoed on the exterior pocket of the bespoke black case that secures the instrument. 

A Certificate of Authenticity documents the limited number of each saxophone produced. Each neck, featuring the classic blue “S” octave key logo, is meticulously paired to its body and marked with a unique serial number. 

Securing the neck to the body is Selmer’s nickel-silver concentric clamping ring. The key action of the Signature USA is fast, light, and precise, with balanced and responsive spring action. Built with Selmer Paris precision and further set up by Conn Selmer’s Elkhart team, the Signature USA reflects the remarkable resonance, liveliness, and responsiveness of classic Selmers. As a nod to Alexandre Selmer’s New York City shop addresses, a total of 86 tenors and 119 altos will be produced in the Signature USA NYC series.
