Selmer FRANCE makes the pro models (Balaned Action, Mark VI, Mark VII, Super Action 80, Refrence models 54 & 36). Selmer USA, which is pretty much unaffiliated with it's French counterpart makes a line consisting primarily of student model band instruments. The way to tell it to look on the bell of your horn and look for either "Henri Selmer - France" or "Selmer U.S.A."
