Selmer S90 - 170 SOPRANO

SELmer, a Historical Reference for Saxophone Mouthpieces

Founded at the end of the 19th century, Henri SELMER Paris initially made its mark with the manufacture of reeds and mouthpieces before becoming a leading brand in wind instruments. The company built its reputation on models that became standards, and modern production now relies on digital machining processes in its Mantes-la-Ville workshops. The result: consistent manufacturing, high precision, and the ability to combine artisan know-how with technology to offer mouthpieces with varied sonic identities.

For Which Saxophonist and Styles?

The SELmer S90 is an excellent choice if you are looking for a reliable and versatile mouthpiece: it meets the needs of students (clear sound production, stable reference points) as well as the expectations of advanced and professional musicians who want an effective daily tool. Thanks to its balance and ease of response, it adapts well to classical music, wind orchestras, popular music, and versatile contexts where a clean, homogeneous, and controlled sound is desired.

Sound and Design

With its very direct response, the S90 emphasizes attack precision and stability: the sound emerges quickly, which helps work on articulation and intonation from the first notes. Its great flexibility provides a comfortable sense of control, useful for moving from soft playing to more projected dynamics without strain. The square chamber contributes to the model's signature, with a sound described as homogeneous and timbred, and notable ease in the altissimo range for saxophonists who exploit the upper register.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This mouthpiece comes with a mouthpiece patch. Note: the ligature and mouthpiece cap are not included (plan for a solution suitable for your saxophone and mouthpiece facing length).
