Between SELMER Tradition and Innovation: The Place of the Claude Delangle Mouthpiece in the Range
Founded at the end of the 19th century, Henri SELMER Paris initially made its mark by manufacturing reeds and mouthpieces before becoming a worldwide reference for saxophones and their accessories. Today, the brand relies on a recognized balance between artisan craftsmanship and digital machining in its Mantes-la-Ville workshops to ensure consistent manufacturing, particularly appreciated in mouthpieces.The Claude Delangle model fits into this approach: a mouthpiece with refined aesthetics, conceived as a meeting point between heritage (metal ring and beveled edge) and acoustic advancements. It reflects the demands of a range oriented toward sustainable sound creativity, without compromising SELMER's DNA.
For Which Saxophonist and Styles?
This mouthpiece is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced saxophonists seeking a characterful model capable of supporting stable projection and a sensation of sonic density. It is especially suited for musicians working in the classical, conservatory, and chamber music realms, while remaining relevant for contexts where a centered, broad, and controlled sound is desired.As with any mouthpiece, the feel will also depend on your morphology, your attack style, and the reed + ligature combination. The 1.65 mm opening can facilitate finding a balance between comfort and sound control, depending on the reed chosen.
Sound and Design
The Claude Delangle mouthpiece stands out due to its bi-material construction and especially its gold-colored metal ring that lines the entire bore. This design aims to densify the sound and provide greater fullness in projection, with an increased sense of presence. The round chamber contributes to a balanced timbre and homogeneous emission, while the 24 mm table influences how the reed vibrates, offering a response that can be both stable and nuanced.The beveled edge and the aesthetic inspired by the saxophone's origins also make it a very recognizable mouthpiece, with a design intended to blend tradition and modernity.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The mouthpiece comes with a mouthpiece patch. The ligature and mouthpiece cap are not included: choose them according to your saxophone and the exact mouthpiece size to ensure consistent tightening and appropriate protection.Technical specifications
