A Return to Origins: SELMER Expertise at the Service of the Reed
Henri SELMER Paris reconnects with one of its very first activities, initiated as early as 1885 : reed manufacturing. After supporting generations of musicians with reeds renowned for their reliability, the French brand is now launching a new range driven by the same spirit of excellence and a recent product development momentum on its saxophones, clarinets, and mouthpieces. This continuity of know-how aims for a simple goal: to offer saxophonists a stable, consistent, and musically inspiring reed, box after box.
For Which Musician and Styles?
At strength 2, these reeds for alto saxophone are particularly suited for musicians seeking easy response and immediate comfort: perfect for beginners (embouchure setup, breath control), but also very relevant for intermediate players who want to gain flexibility, dynamics, and endurance. Their balanced tonal personality adapts equally well to jazz (clear attack, smooth phrasing), pop and brass band/harmonie ensembles, as well as classical music for a search of roundness and homogeneity.
Sound and Design
Made from cane, these SELMER reeds rely on a selection of wild cane harvested from a preserved natural environment, free from pesticide exposure, and known for its high fiber content. The result: a reed aimed at providing consistent response, good stability against temperature and humidity changes, and increased longevity. The profile developed with musicians emphasizes an acoustic signature focused on density, roundness, and warmth, while seeking to limit unpleasant surprises from reed to reed thanks to more precise calibration.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Since these reeds are intended for alto saxophone, they are compatible with an alto saxophone mouthpiece and an alto saxophone ligature. To preserve their qualities, a reed case is recommended, as well as an alto saxophone swab to maintain good playing hygiene.
