SELME R: a return to roots in the service of consistency
Henri SELMER Paris reconnects with the brand's history by relaunching reed manufacturing, Henri Selmer's original activity since 1885. Generations of musicians have known historic series like "Soloist" or "Omega," appreciated for their reliability. This new range fits within the recent dynamism of the manufactory on its clarinets, saxophones, and mouthpieces, with the same requirement: to offer modern, consistent, and coherent reeds from box to box.
For which saxophonists and styles?
In strength 4, these reeds for alto saxophone are aimed mainly at intermediate to advanced saxophonists seeking greater endurance, stability, and fine control of intonation. They are particularly suited to contexts where a solid attack and consistent sound are desired: classical, wind orchestra, big band, studio, or amplified playing requiring good resistance. The precise calibration also helps limit time lost "sorting" reeds, both in rehearsal and performance.
Sound and design
Made from carefully selected cane from the South of France, these reeds rely on a fibrous structure known to improve longevity and stability. The profile developed with SELMER's acoustic expertise aims for a homogeneous response and a tonal color marked by roundness and warmth, while maintaining a density useful for projection. The laser marking positioned on the bark (not on the table) helps preserve vibration, while the reed holder is designed to protect the tip and facilitate daily handling.
Recommended compatible accessories
To get the best from your reeds and extend their lifespan, a ventilated reed case (multi-reed) and a hard alto saxophone case are practical complements for transport. An alto saxophone swab also helps keep the instrument dry and stable, limiting response variations from session to session.
