Selmer S90 - 170

A SELMER Classic: The Heritage of the Brand and the Place of the S90 in the Range

Founded at the end of the 19th century, Henri SELMER Paris initially became known for manufacturing reeds and mouthpieces before becoming a benchmark brand for saxophonists. Today, design and machining rely on modern high-precision processes while maintaining the brand's commitment to consistency. In this spirit, the S90 holds an essential place: a mouthpiece recognized for its versatility and reliability, appreciated for its ability to adapt to many playing profiles.

For Which Saxophonist? Styles, Levels, and Playing Sensations

The Selmer S90 170 is aimed both at beginners and students seeking a reassuring and easy-to-control mouthpiece, and at advanced musicians who want a stable and homogeneous foundation for daily use. Its direct response and flexibility make it an excellent choice for classical music, ensembles (wind orchestra, conservatory), as well as pop and jazz when aiming for a clean, centered, and well-controlled sound.

Sound and Design

With its 1.70 mm opening and square chamber, the S90 170 favors a tonal, structured, and homogeneous sound, with good pitch stability. The response is very clear: the sound "comes out" easily, which helps work on attack precision and breath consistency. The advertised flexibility translates into a feeling of suppleness, useful for shaping dynamics and phrasing, while maintaining controlled projection, including in the altissimo range.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This mouthpiece is delivered with a mouthpiece patch. Since the ligature and mouthpiece cap are not included, it is advisable to choose a ligature and cap specifically compatible with the S90 series and your type of saxophone (alto, tenor, etc.).
