SELMER: a return to origins with a new generation reed range
Henri SELMER Paris reconnects with the company's history by relaunching reed manufacturing, an activity closely linked to the founder's beginnings in 1885. After references that have marked generations of musicians, the brand now applies its acoustic expertise to a new range : rigorous cane selection, enhanced quality control, and modern measurement processes to offer reeds that are both musical, consistent, and reliable.
For which musician and styles?
These reeds for bass clarinet in Strength 4 are primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced clarinetists and orchestral or professional musicians seeking superior stability and greater resistance. This strength is suitable for contexts aiming for a centered sound and strong foundation, notably in classical, chamber music, wind orchestra, but also in jazz when prioritizing stability and timbre density.
Sound and design
Made from carefully selected cane, these SELMER Paris reeds aim for a homogeneous response and solid projection, with a sound identity focused on roundness and warmth. The work on the profile and manufacturing control contribute to better consistency from one reed to another, reducing the time spent "searching for the right reed." The laser marking, done on the bark and not on the table, is designed to preserve the natural vibration of the cane as much as possible.
Recommended compatible accessories
To get the best out of your bass clarinet reeds, a rigid reed case and a swab suitable for bass clarinet can help protect the reed and maintain good hygiene and drying conditions between sessions.
