SELmer and the Return to Roots: A Tradition of Reeds Since 1885
Henri SELMER Paris reconnects with one of its very first activities: manufacturing reeds for clarinet and saxophone, initiated by Henri Selmer as early as 1885. Generations of musicians have known SELMER reeds, appreciated for their reliability (Soloist, Omega). Driven by the brand's recent dynamism in saxophones, clarinets, and mouthpieces, this new reed range follows a clear logic: offering more consistent quality, a confident sound identity, and fully controlled manufacturing.
For Which Soprano Saxophonist?
These reeds are intended for soprano saxophonists from intermediate to professional levels who seek consistency and a cane with reliable response for daily use (rehearsals, stage, studio). The strength 3, very common, is especially suitable for those wanting a good balance between resistance and ease of blowing. Musically, they fit well in classical (intonation, homogeneity), as well as in jazz and contemporary music (projection, color, presence), or in brass band and ensembles (stability and endurance).
Sound and Design
Made from cane, these reeds emphasize a sound that is both round and warm, with a pleasant density that helps structure the soprano's sound, an instrument known for its demanding intonation. The choice of Arundo donax canes from Var, rich in fibers, aims for better longevity and increased resistance to humidity variations, for a more stable reed from day to day. The laser marking (strength and logo) is done on the bark rather than on the table, to preserve vibrational qualities and maintain easy reading of information without disturbing the vibration zone.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the response and lifespan of your soprano saxophone reeds, a reed case (if you don't already have one) and a soprano-sized swab are reliable choices to limit residual moisture after playing and stabilize the cane between sessions.
