A Selmer Tradition Serving Modern Reeds
Founded in 1885, Henri SELMER Paris initially made its mark by manufacturing reeds and mouthpieces before becoming a major reference in the world of wind instruments. Combining artisanal know-how with high-precision manufacturing control, the brand pursues a constant demand: to offer reliable, consistent, and inspiring products. With the Premium Jazz reeds, Selmer completes its Premium range by clearly targeting the expectations of saxophonists oriented towards jazz and contemporary music, with a profile designed for quick response and generous expression.
Who and for Which Styles?
This reed for alto saxophone is aimed at musicians seeking a reactive playing sensation and a lively sound: advanced students, demanding amateurs, section saxophonists in big bands, or soloists. Its "Jazz" orientation makes it ideal for jazz, funk, soul, pop, and stage contexts where projection and clear attack make a difference. In strength 2, it is particularly suitable for those who prioritize flexibility, ease of play, and quick handling.
Sound and Design
The Premium Jazz profile is designed to deliver a rich and expressive timbre, with an immediate response from the first attacks. Projection is emphasized while maintaining a sense of control useful for phrasing in solo as well as for "carrying" within an ensemble. The choice of Arundo donax reed known for its fiber content promotes good stability against temperature and humidity variations, as well as increased longevity. A noteworthy detail: the marking (strength and logo) is made on the bark rather than on the table to preserve the reed's vibratory qualities.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To keep your reeds in good condition between rehearsals, a reed holder and a reed protection case (alto saxophone size) are good complements, especially if you often play on the go.
