Selmer PREMIUM 2.75 - BB CLARINET (X10)

A Return to Origins: Selmer Tradition Serving a New Generation of Reeds

Henri SELMER Paris reconnects with the brand's history by relaunching reed manufacturing, an activity initiated by Henri Selmer as early as 1885. This new range is part of the brand's development momentum on clarinets, saxophones, and mouthpieces, with a clear ambition: to offer reliable, consistent, and immediately playable reeds without compromising musicality. The choice of wild cane (Arundo donax) sourced from a preserved natural environment also illustrates the desire to combine tradition, acoustic excellence, and a more responsible approach.

For Which Clarinetist and Styles?

With their stable response and consistent strength, Henri SELMER Paris reeds are suitable both for intermediate clarinetists seeking comfort and for advanced musicians who want a precise and consistent reed from box to box. Their balance makes them relevant for versatile use: classical (homogeneity, intonation, control), wind orchestra, and variety (controlled projection), while maintaining good flexibility for working on dynamics and articulation.

Sound and Design

Made from cane, these reeds aim for effective and consistent vibration: the response is intended to be more serene, projection well-centered, and the timbre marked by an appreciable warmth and roundness across all registers. The tight calibration reduces unpleasant surprises and facilitates the selection of high-performance reeds right from opening the box. Regarding finishing, the laser marking is done on the bark (not on the table) to preserve vibratory qualities as much as possible, while maintaining excellent readability of the strength.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To get the best out of your reeds, consider pairing them with a ventilated reed case/holder (for rotation and drying), as well as a Bb clarinet swab to limit excess moisture inside the instrument body. (Universal compatibility, regardless of the Bb clarinet model.)
