A SELMER Classic: The Heritage of French Expertise
Since 1885, Henri SELMER Paris has established itself as a major reference in the world of mouthpieces and reeds. The brand has evolved its manufacturing methods by integrating CNC machining centers in its workshops in Mantes-la-Ville, ensuring remarkable consistency and precision while maintaining the demand for artisanal craftsmanship. The result: a range of mouthpieces designed for different sound aesthetics, where every musician can find a balance suited to their morphology and blowing style.
For Which Saxophonist and Styles?
The SELMER S90 is particularly relevant for students seeking a stable and easy-to-handle mouthpiece, while remaining expressive enough to progress without feeling limited. It also appeals to advanced and professional musicians looking for an efficient, versatile, and consistent mouthpiece. Its "all-rounder" character makes it an excellent choice in classical, wind orchestra, pop, and more broadly in any situation where a clear emission, good homogeneity, and a solid high register are expected.
Sound and Design
Designed around a square chamber, the S90 emphasizes a precise response and a direct emission feel. The 180 (1.80 mm) opening combined with a 23 mm table promotes a flexible and homogeneous playing experience, with a structured timbre and good control over projection. The behavior across registers is described as very balanced, with notable ease in the altissimo range, a point appreciated for intonation and stability when pushing the instrument.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
This mouthpiece is sold without ligature or mouthpiece cap, so plan for a ligature and mouthpiece cap suitable for your saxophone and the mouthpiece geometry, as well as a swab for regular maintenance. To protect the table daily, the mouthpiece is delivered with a mouthpiece patch.
