Selmer Jazz Tribute 8* (Tenor Saxophone)

A Tribute to Jazz in the SELMER Tradition

Founded in 1885, Henri SELMER Paris initially made its mark by manufacturing reeds and mouthpieces before becoming an essential reference for musicians. Over time, the brand has successfully combined tradition and innovation: the digital machining deployed in the Mantes-la-Ville workshops has enabled a level of precision and production stability particularly appreciated for such a sensitive accessory as a mouthpiece. The Jazz Tribute fits within this philosophy: a model oriented towards "contemporary music," but designed with the typical SELMER demands for accuracy and consistency.

For Which Saxophonist and Styles

This tenor saxophone mouthpiece is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced saxophonists seeking an expressive mouthpiece capable of carrying a chorus effortlessly, while retaining substance in the sound. It is particularly comfortable in jazz (swing, hard bop, modern jazz) and in contemporary music where a clear presence, a defined attack, and projection that cuts through the mix are expected. The 8* opening favors a wide dynamic range and nuanced effects, provided the player has good control of breath and embouchure.

Sound and Design

The choice of brass (a copper and zinc alloy) emphasizes a rich and warm tone, with solid projection, sought after in jazz and amplified stage settings. The design aims for a balance between density and roundness, while remaining easy to play to maintain comfort during long sessions. The thin gold layer on the surface contributes to a sensation of brightness and better sound clarity, with a premium look perfectly in line with the model's "tribute" identity.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The mouthpiece is supplied with its ligature and mouthpiece cap, so you already have the essentials to play and protect the tip between sets. For routine maintenance, a dedicated mouthpiece swab and a soft cloth help keep the table and interior clean, preserving response and playing stability.
