Why Musicians Pay Over $15K For John Coltrane’s Favorite Saxophone | So Expensive | Business Insider

Henri Selmer Saxophones was founded in Paris in 1885. Today, the company is synonymous with high-end saxophones. The most popular saxophone it sells, the Series II alto, starts at about $7,000, but a Selmer can cost you as much as $30,000, depending on the customization and finishes like gold plating. John Coltrane, one of the most influential jazz musicians of all time, used Selmer saxophones in his performances. He recorded his magnum opus, "A Love Supreme," on a Mark VI. One of his Mark VI tenor saxophones is on display at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. Musicians are willing to pay for a Selmer for a variety of reasons: the familiar sound, the history behind the brand, the craftsmanship and attention to detail, and the playability. ------------------------------------------------------ #saxophone #music #businessinsider #soexpensive MORE SO EXPENSIVE VIDEOS: Why Lego Is So Expensive | So Expensive | Business Insider    • Why Lego Is So Expensive | So Expensive | ...   Why Hagoromo Chalk Is So Expensive | So Expensive | Business Insider    • Why Hagoromo Chalk Is So Expensive | So Ex...   Why Michelin-Starred Chefs Are Paying Premium For One Of Korea's Rarest Seaweeds | So Expensive    • Why Michelin-Starred Chefs Are Paying Prem...   Business Insider tells you all you need to know about business, finance, tech, retail, and more.
