{"product_id":"selmer-concept-saxophone-soprano-185804","title":"SOPRANO SAXOPHONE MOUTHPIECE CONCEPT","description":"\u003ch3\u003eConcept: SELMER's approach to a modern mouthpiece, balancing tradition and precision\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eHenri SELMER Paris is among the most respected names in the saxophone world. The brand has built its reputation on manufacturing excellence and continuous acoustic research, with particular attention to reliability under real playing conditions: intonation, control, homogeneity, and ease of sound production.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this spirit, the \u003cstrong\u003eConcept Soprano\u003c\/strong\u003e positions itself as a \"trust\" mouthpiece: a model aimed at quick handling, clear response, and a coherent sonic identity. The goal is not just to offer a beautiful tone color but an overall balance that helps the saxophonist stabilize the instrument (often demanding at the soprano) and regain consistent sensations session after session.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eA mouthpiece designed to enhance control, from daily practice to the stage\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eHenri SELMER Paris Concept Soprano\u003c\/strong\u003e is primarily intended for \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate, advanced, and professional\u003c\/strong\u003e saxophonists seeking a reliable, comfortable, and easy-to-master mouthpiece. Its design promotes quick vibration start-up: a valuable asset for working on intonation, attack, and note sustain, while maintaining a \"guided\" breath sensation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRegarding styles, its \u003cstrong\u003eround, centered, and warm\u003c\/strong\u003e signature suits \u003cstrong\u003eclassical\u003c\/strong\u003e music very well (for homogeneity and control), \u003cstrong\u003epop\u003c\/strong\u003e, and ensembles such as \u003cstrong\u003ebrass bands\u003c\/strong\u003e or acoustic groups where clear projection without aggressiveness is desired. It can also find its place in \u003cstrong\u003emodern jazz\u003c\/strong\u003e when the goal is clear definition, stable sound, and great consistency in dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSound, design, and key parameters: tip opening, chamber, and table\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn a saxophone mouthpiece, three elements directly influence feel and sound. First, the \u003cstrong\u003etip opening\u003c\/strong\u003e (gap at the tip), which determines resistance and freedom of vibration: the more open it is, the more air the mouthpiece may require and the finer the embouchure control needed. Next, the \u003cstrong\u003echamber\u003c\/strong\u003e (internal volume), which shapes the timbre and sense of focus. Finally, the \u003cstrong\u003etable\u003c\/strong\u003e (reed contact area), which affects response, flexibility, and how the reed \"starts\" at the moment of attack.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith a \u003cstrong\u003e1.06 mm tip opening\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003e21 mm table\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Concept Soprano aims for a very musical compromise: enough freedom to let the sound breathe, while maintaining a stable support for intonation and control (crucial points on the soprano). The \u003cstrong\u003eround chamber\u003c\/strong\u003e enhances a \u003cstrong\u003efull\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003euniform\u003c\/strong\u003e sound, with marked continuity between low, middle, and high registers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe design, featuring a \u003cstrong\u003ewider tip opening\u003c\/strong\u003e than a traditional soprano mouthpiece, provides immediate comfort. This ergonomics can be especially appreciated by musicians who regularly switch between alto and soprano, reducing the sensation of a \"narrow mouthpiece\" and facilitating embouchure stability over time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eRecommended compatible accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo optimize the performance of this mouthpiece, choose \u003cstrong\u003esoprano saxophone reeds\u003c\/strong\u003e suited to your playing style: a softer strength facilitates sound production and comfort, while a firmer strength can provide more support, density, and stability. A \u003cstrong\u003emouthpiece swab\u003c\/strong\u003e suitable for the mouthpiece is also recommended to remove moisture after playing and preserve response. The mouthpiece comes with a \u003cstrong\u003emouthpiece patch\u003c\/strong\u003e, offering more stable support and better protection against wear from the teeth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003esoprano saxophone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eHard rubber\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTip opening\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e1.06 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChamber\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eround\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e21 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003esoprano saxophone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded accessory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003emouthpiece patch\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eligature and mouthpiece cap\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Selmer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54356666024211,"sku":"185804","price":175.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/07ef6c294089d4c27b7a8ad636e2691976ea3df6_NEW_CONCEPTSOPRANO.jpg?v=1787299055","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/selmer-soprano-saxophone-mouthpiece-concept-185804","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
