Selmer Bb CLARINET MOUTHPIECE FOCUS

Selmer and the Clarinet Mouthpiece Range: A Renewed Tradition

Since 1885, Henri SELMER Paris has shaped the world of reeds and mouthpieces, with a history closely linked to wind instrument making. The brand has established itself as a reference thanks to models that have become essential, while modernizing its production through digital machining in its workshops in Mantes-la-Ville. This combination of artisanal know-how and high precision now allows offering a complete range of clarinet mouthpieces, each carrying a different sound aesthetic to meet very personal needs (morphology, sensations, musical objectives).

For Which Clarinetist and Styles?

The FOCUS mouthpiece is aimed at clarinetists seeking a comfortable playing experience and an immediate response, without sacrificing tonal richness. Its closed tip opening promotes stability and control, making it suitable both for beginner and intermediate players looking to secure their sound production and for advanced clarinetists in search of a reliable, centered, and versatile mouthpiece. It adapts to many styles, from classical (intonation, homogeneity, clear articulation) to variety and ensembles (wind bands, brass bands, chamber music) where controlled projection and precision are appreciated.

Sound and Design

FOCUS lives up to its name: it emphasizes a clear sound focus, with a sensation of roundness that remains flexible under the fingers. The 1.05 mm tip opening facilitates sound production, helps stabilize attacks, and promotes consistent control across dynamics, particularly useful when seeking a homogeneous sound throughout the instrument's range. Its trapezoidal chamber contributes to the timbre's personality and the feeling of control. The table (23 mm) directly influences the interaction with the reed: response, resistance, and flexibility, for playing that remains fluid and controlled.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This mouthpiece is delivered with a mouthpiece patch to protect the table from reed contact. The ligature and mouthpiece cap are not included: be sure to choose a model strictly adapted to your mouthpiece size and clarinet type (according to the exact clarinet model and compatibility announced by the ligature manufacturer).
