Wayne Shorter

In a YouTube video interview produced by Henri SELMER Paris, Wayne Shorter confirms that he received his first Selmer Mark VI Tenor Saxophone around 1951 or 1952. He states that he used the Mark VI throughout his career, including during his time with Art Blakey and later with Miles Davis. Despite his original Mark VI being stolen, Shorter acquired another, demonstrating his commitment to the brand. He describes Selmer as "the Rolls Royce of instruments" and credits it as "the vehicle that would take you as far and even further than you would like to go."

According to this article on Sax & Clarinet On, Wayne Shorter used a Selmer Bundy II Alto Saxophone during the recording of "Speak No Evil" for Blue Note Records. The article explicitly mentions that the "Bundy (by Selmer)" was employed in the making of this album, highlighting it as one of the primary tenor saxophone models Shorter played throughout his career.

According to the article "Shorter: It’s time to go get a new body and come back to the mission" by Sax & Clarinet On, Wayne Shorter consistently used the Otto Link Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece throughout different periods of his career. This source confirms his enduring preference for Otto Link mouthpieces as part of his saxophone setup.
