A Selmer Heritage: From Montmartre to Mantes-la-Ville, the Benchmark for Mouthpieces
Founded in 1885, the Henri SELMER Paris company initially made its mark by producing reeds and mouthpieces before becoming a leading brand in the world of wind instruments. Over the decades, Selmer has created models that have become standards and has evolved its production methods. Today, digital machining in the Mantes-la-Ville workshops delivers remarkable precision while maintaining the demands of historic craftsmanship: a balance appreciated by musicians seeking both tonal character and stability.
For Which Saxophonist and Styles?
The Selmer Soloist C* is aimed at intermediate to advanced saxophonists who want a versatile mouthpiece capable of transitioning from classical repertoire to more subtle jazz contexts without losing control. Its stable response across dynamics also makes it an excellent choice for working on intonation, articulation, and homogeneity throughout the range.
Sound and Design
Designed around a "horseshoe" chamber, the Soloist stands out with a centered timbre and a particularly homogeneous playing sensation across registers. The attack remains clear in the low register, while the upper and altissimo registers maintain balanced intonation, useful both in solo and section playing. The C* tip opening promotes controllable and nuanced playing, with a response that allows shaping the sound without effort, while maintaining excellent air column stability.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
This mouthpiece comes with a mouthpiece patch. The ligature and mouthpiece cap are not included: you can therefore choose these items according to your preferred tightness and comfort, ensuring to select accessories compatible with your saxophone's size and the mouthpiece dimensions.
