Selmer Paris has created a range of necks for saxophones, making it possible to personalise your instrument by meeting specific needs in the search for sound and playing comfort. Several finishes are currently available: lacquer(VO), silver plated (AO), matt brushed (BVG/VO), matt lacquer(VMO), black (N) and gold plated (AUO). The range of necks offered by Selmer Paris also extends to those manufactured in rarer alloys, offering real alternatives in richness of colour or character of sound: pink brass (CR), solid sterling silver, The gold plated finish acts directly on the centredness, precision and richness of the sound, solid silver affects the dynamics and general homogeneity, and pink brass tends to round out the timbre.

Selmer Series III SA80 II Tenor Saxophone Neck
Depending on the materials used, saxophone necks can change the sound of your instrument
Examine the shape of the neck, especially on a tenor or a baritone. Unfortunately whilst playing one can exert, unwillingly, a certain pressure on the neck when blowing the mouthpiece. Under this pressure, it bends slightly, which may, among other things, affect the emission of one or more notes.
Always check the condition of the cork on which the mouthpiece fits. Is it very worn or too compressed? Does it fit inside your mouthpiece? Also, see if the neck fits well on the body and there is no movement at the joint. If this assembly is not sealed, air leaks will affect the accuracy and response of the instrument. Note that if the neck has a different finish than the body, it does not necessarily mean that it does not belong to the instrument.
