This horn has a big, dark, powerful tone. The 9x,xxx tenors are highly coveted for their uniquely powerful, focused, dark Selmer core. It’s the kind of horn that makes a career or that enables you to be a better player, both by removing obstacles that were there before for you, and by opening up new possibilities that would not have emerged otherwise.
