SST Model TN1

The TN1 is a special Neck. This model is currently only available for tenor saxophones.
This model was developed on the basis of the old Selmer MVI Necks.
This means that the TN1 produces a good sound center for a warm and carrying tone.
What did we want to do differently with the TN1?
In contrast to original MVI bows, the TN1 delivers a much more open and direct tone with many overtones.
The TN1 also produces a very powerful sound. The blowing resistance of the TN1 is slightly lower than that of old MVI necks.
TN1 was developed in collaboration with some great saxophonists, such as Michael Brecker, David Liebman and Bill Evans.
Bill Evans has been using the TN1 exclusively on his Selmer MVI tenor saxophone since 2007.

 

The sound characteristics of the TN1 at a glance

    • Strong sound center
    • produces a very open and direct sound
    • reproduces the entire spectrum of low, mid and high frequencies (very strong mid-range)
    • Lively and warm sound
    • Great sound depth for a strong surround sound
    • Very high play dynamics
    • offers the player excellent control
      for the best performances in various musical styles. Particularly suitable for funk, fusion etc.

Who did we build the TN1 for?
The TN1 was built for every player, professional or non-professional, with high demands in various music genres, except classical.
We have developed the New Standard series for saxophonists who play classical music alone.
You can read about the advantages it offers for classical saxophonists under SST Neck Series New Standard.

TN1 in combination with old Selmer MVI, BA or SBA saxophones
The TN1 offers players of these very good old saxophones a completely new alternative or perspective.
While the original old Selmer necks deliver a rather dark, muted, nasal tone that is particularly focused on jazz, the TN1 delivers a much more open tone with a more direct response.

TN1 in combination with all other saxophone brands 
For all current saxophone makes, including all makes and models from the past that are not old Selmer saxophones, the SST S-bows are essential.
With a relatively small investment (compared to buying a new instrument), players can convert their saxophone with an SST Neck so that they don't just get a “new” saxophone.
You can modify your saxophone in such a way that you get many times more SOUND VALUE. You can install the important standards in your saxophone that we have already written about here.
If you are planning to buy an instrument, please ask us in advance about the possibilities of upgrading your existing instrument. In most cases, you will not have to buy a new instrument.
If you are planning to buy an instrument for the first time, it is best to plan the additional purchase of an SST Neck!

1. make sure you buy an instrument that is technically stable
2. make sure that the new instrument is easy for you to use
3. the price: In principle, it doesn't matter whether you buy an instrument costing several thousand euros or a much cheaper instrument. With an SST Neck, you can bring both the expensive and the much cheaper one to the same level.
