Henri SELMER Paris: A Historic Expertise Dedicated to Precision
Founded at the end of the 19th century, Henri SELMER Paris quickly established itself as a major reference in the world of reeds and mouthpieces, with a tradition of demanding craftsmanship. The brand has evolved its processes, notably through digital machining in its workshops in Mantes-la-Ville, to achieve remarkable production consistency and precision. The result: stable mouthpieces, consistent from one piece to another, while preserving the Selmer DNA, blending artisanal mastery and innovation.
Who Is This S90 For and In Which Styles?
The Selmer S90 is often considered an excellent balance point: accessible enough for a beginner or a conservatory student, and refined enough to meet the demands of a professional seeking reliability. Its "all-around" behavior suits classical, wind orchestra, brass band, and pop styles very well; it can also be a relevant choice in jazz if you are looking for a clear response and a centered sound.
Sound and Design
With its 1.90 mm tip opening and 23 mm table length, the S90 190 aims for a balanced playing feel: the air "catches" quickly, articulation is precise, and the response remains very direct. The square chamber contributes to a homogeneous, well-focused sound, with a present timbre and good stability across the entire range. The mouthpiece design emphasizes playing flexibility and stability, helping to maintain consistent intonation and approach the altissimo register with confidence.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
This mouthpiece comes with a mouthpiece patch. The ligature and mouthpiece cap are not included: be sure to choose a ligature and cap specifically compatible with a Selmer S90 mouthpiece (compatibility depends on the exact shape and the saxophone model).
