History
Henri SELMER Paris presents a video series on the history of the company, in collaboration with collector Douglas Pipher. According to the page, Douglas Pipher is a Canadian saxophonist, arranger, composer and collector whose interest in the history of Maison SELMER began in the early 2000s, following the purchase of a legendary saxophone: the Radio Improved. He then began a research project to catalogue all the instruments produced by the company, spending years photographing and archiving thousands of instruments. The company states that on several occasions it opened the doors of its private archives to give him access to historical documents and enable him to complete his research. The web-series History Notes is described as sharing the fruits of his investigations, with Season 1 covering the story of legendary saxophones in chronological order, an off-season on the secret corners of the Manufacture, and Season 2 on rare models with special features.
