A Selmer Tradition Serving Modern Reeds
Since 1885, Henri SELMER Paris has established itself as an essential reference in the world of wind instrument accessories, with historic expertise in reeds and mouthpieces. The brand now combines traditional methods with high-precision manufacturing control to ensure production consistency and stability that reassure demanding saxophonists. With the Premium Jazz range, Selmer offers a reed profile clearly oriented towards jazz aesthetics and contemporary music, designed to provide character, responsiveness, and projection.
For Which Saxophonists and Styles
This tenor saxophone reed is primarily aimed at musicians who already have good control of sound production and support, especially in jazz, swing, big band, funk, and contemporary music. With a strength 4, it offers notable resistance, generally appreciated by intermediate to advanced saxophonists seeking stability, endurance, and a dense sound, provided they have a well-established embouchure and air column.
Sound and Design
The Premium Jazz profile is designed to deliver a rich and expressive timbre, with a quick response that facilitates attacks and dynamics. The design aims for effective projection, useful when the sound needs to carry over a rhythm section or section. Selmer pays particular attention to the consistency of the cut thanks to dedicated control tools and selects Arundo Donax cane from southeastern France, known for its good fiber content, promoting longevity and resistance to temperature and humidity variations. The marking (logo and strength) is done on the bark rather than on the table to preserve the reed's vibrational qualities as much as possible.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the response and lifespan of your reeds, a ventilated reed case (or a storage solution that prevents the tip from being crushed) is an excellent complement. A tenor saxophone swab also helps limit residual moisture in the mouthpiece and instrument body after playing, contributing to healthier and more regular practice.
