Advantages: All the quality of a Selmer, fantastic deep rich sound, just like the Super Balanced Actions, only with improved keywork and intonation Disadvantages: Quite expensive, and I find intonation is still slightly dodgey
After finally saving up enough money to buy myself a new tenor sax, I went and tried out all of the leading saxes, and the selmer reference 36 was my choice. The keys sit perfectly under the fingers, and the horn is a joy to play. Selmer have captured the tone and spirit of the Balanced action that this is modelled on superbly, and the sax has a beautiful tone (which reminds me a lot of Sonny Rollin's sound!). I find that both the reference saxes (54 and 36) have darker tones than the selmer serie II and III, and with the saxes that I tried, for me the 36 had a slightly richer sound.
This sax has got a beautiful finish, in dark gold lacquer with exquisite hand engraving (fairly similar to the reference alto finish).
My only criticism of this sax is that I find I have to do a fair bit of adjusting to get the intonation right ...
Advantages: Nice Dark tone, good intonation, and smooth engraving Disadvantages: This horn is quite expensive and the positioning of the palm keys doesn't quite suit my hands - the price is the only real disadvantage though!
This is a good, high quality instrument from selmer, and is reckoned to be among the best professional tenorsaxophones in the world. I own a serie II alto sax, however the serie II tenor seemed fairly different to the alto to me, and I play a selmer reference 36 tenor.
The Serie II has a lovely tone, which is very resonant, making the whole horn vibrate, creating a dark rich tone. The intonation on this horn is also fairly good, but I didn't find the intonation quite as good as on the Serie III.
I like the design of the Serie II, and it feels comfortable to play, except for the right hand palm keys, which for some reason, to me, feel like they are in the wrong position, and they seem quite a stretch to reach. Other than this though, the keys are responsive, and work well, as on the Serie II Alto. I find the little finger keys ...
Advantages: Lovely gentle romantic film Disadvantages: None really

A good sax, easy to play with good intonation, and a good keywork design. Also looks extremely cool! - i wish i could get my selmer in this finish!
It lacks the depth of tone found in most professional saxes, and it is also quite expensive - if you've got this amount to spend on a sax I would definitely reccomend a selmer instead of a keilwerth. (*)
