A Return to the Origins: Selmer Relaunches Its Reeds, First Activity Since 1885
Henri SELMER Paris reconnects with the company's history by relaunching reed manufacturing, the founding activity initiated by Henri Selmer as early as 1885. After generations of musicians who played Selmer reeds known for their reliability, the brand now puts its acoustic expertise and manufacturing standards at the service of a new range, designed to meet the expectations of modern saxophonists.
For Which Tenor Saxophonist and Repertoire
These reeds for tenor saxophone are aimed at musicians of intermediate to advanced level seeking a consistent reed capable of withstanding daily work (studies, rehearsals, concerts) while maintaining good stability. Their balance favors versatile playing: jazz, pop, funk, orchestra, or chamber music with saxophone, with a pleasing sense of control when switching between dynamics, articulations, and register changes.
Sound and Design
Made from carefully selected cane, these reeds focus on reliable response and rich tone. The wild cane from Var, known for its high fiber content, contributes to good longevity and increased resistance to humidity variations, a key point to maintain comfortable playability over time. The reed profile developed with musicians aims for an acoustic signature marked by roundness, warmth, and a beautiful density, while maintaining consistent behavior between reeds in the same box thanks to more precise calibration.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the lifespan of your reeds, the use of a ventilated reed case (for regular drying) and a tenor sax swab (to limit residual moisture in the mouthpiece and neck) is recommended. If you already use a mouthpiece and ligature suited to your tenor saxophone, these reeds naturally integrate into your setup: the important thing is to maintain a stable maintenance routine to find the same playing sensations from one session to another.
