The S90: A SELMER Classic, Between Tradition and Modern Precision
Since 1885, Henri SELMER Paris has excelled in the manufacture of reeds and mouthpieces, before becoming a worldwide reference thanks to models that have become essential. Today, the brand combines this historic know-how with digital machining processes in its workshops in Mantes-la-Ville, to guarantee production consistency and manufacturing precision particularly appreciated in such a crucial element as the mouthpiece. Within the SELMER range, the S90 stands out as a benchmark model: a versatile mouthpiece designed to offer quick handling while maintaining a true margin of expression.For Which Saxophonist and Styles?
The SELMER S90 mouthpiece meets the needs of students thanks to its accessible response and stability, while remaining relevant for advanced and professional musicians seeking a reliable daily mouthpiece. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for classical, wind orchestra, variety, and many playing situations where intonation, clean attack, and register homogeneity are prioritized. Like any mouthpiece, it remains a personal choice: the tip opening, table, and morphology directly influence the sensations and sound result.Sound and Design

The opening and table characteristics influence the balance between ease, resistance, and tonal palette, for a response that is both flexible and precise.Recommended Compatible Accessories
