Selmer PREMIUM 2 - BB CLARINET (X10)

SELME R: a return to roots, blending tradition and modern demands

Henri SELMER Paris reconnects with one of its historic core activities by relaunching reed manufacturing, reminiscent of the series that marked generations of musicians (Soloist, Omega). This new range continues the house's acoustic expertise, already recognized in its clarinets, saxophones, and mouthpieces, with a clear ambition: to offer reliable, consistent, and musically inspiring reeds, box after box.

For which clarinetist and styles

These SELMER reeds for Bb clarinet are particularly suitable for beginner to advanced clarinetists seeking a stable reed that is easy to tame daily. Their balance makes them comfortable in many contexts: classical (intonation work, homogeneity), wind orchestra / brass band (projection and stability), as well as pop and jazz for a rounder, more singing color.

Sound and design

Made from cane, these reeds rely on carefully selected raw material: wild cane from southern France, known for its high fiber content. In practice, this results in a reed aiming for durability and increased resistance to temperature and humidity variations, two factors that strongly influence response. The profile developed with input from musicians of various backgrounds seeks a warm sound with roundness and density, while maintaining comfortable playability and good homogeneity across registers.

Recommended compatible accessories

To optimize the longevity and consistency of your reeds, consider a rigid and ventilated reed case as well as a swab suitable for the Bb clarinet: a well-dried and clean instrument helps stabilize the reed and maintain a more consistent response throughout rehearsals.
