Henri SELMER Paris: a culture of accessories serving saxophonists
Since 1885, Henri SELMER Paris has established itself as an essential reference in the world of reeds, mouthpieces, and accessories. Over generations, the brand has evolved its manufacturing methods by combining artisanal know-how with modern production tools, notably through digital machining in its workshops in Mantes-la-Ville. This demand for precision and consistency is also reflected in its accessories: practical solutions designed to support the musician and protect their instrument on a daily basis.
An accessory designed for playing... and especially for after playing
This neck protector is intended for all tenor saxophonists, from beginners to professionals, as soon as the instrument is regularly taken out of its case. It is particularly useful in contexts involving travel (school, rehearsals, marching band, concerts), where the neck is often handled separately and can be subjected to shocks. By protecting the octave key, you reduce unexpected issues and maintain a more reliable mechanism over time.
Sound and design
A neck protector is not intended to alter the sound: its role is to preserve the element that directly influences ease of play, namely the proper functioning of the octave key. A misaligned octave key can cause difficulties in the upper register, leaks, and less stable response. Its understated design in black plastic prioritizes lightness and practicality, for an accessory that is easy to put on and remove during saxophone assembly.
