Henri SELMER Paris: a historic reference in mouthpieces
Since 1885, Henri SELMER Paris has established itself as a key manufacturer of reeds and mouthpieces, responsible for many models that have become standards. The brand has evolved its production by combining artisanal craftsmanship and high-precision digital machining in its workshops in Mantes-la-Ville, ensuring exemplary consistency from one mouthpiece to another. In this spirit, the SELMER range now offers several tonal aesthetics: choosing a mouthpiece remains very personal, as it depends as much on your musical goals as on your morphology and blowing technique.
A universal mouthpiece for steady progress... and long-term playing
The SELmer S90 is often described as a "universal" mouthpiece: it meets the needs of students (easy setup, stability, intonation) while remaining relevant for advanced or professional musicians seeking a reliable daily tool. It is particularly suited to contexts requiring a clean and controlled sound: classical, wind orchestra, ensemble, but also pop and versatile situations where homogeneity and precision are paramount.
Sound and design
The S90 190 stands out for its very direct response : the sound emerges quickly, facilitating intonation and stability, especially during register changes. Its great flexibility provides genuine playing ease to shape the timbre, work on dynamics, and maintain a feeling of control. The result is homogeneous and timbred, with remarkable ease in the upper register and particularly well-controlled altissimo notes. The square chamber contributes to this identity: a clear, defined, and structured sound, appreciated for its precision.
Recommended compatible accessories
The mouthpiece comes with a mouthpiece patch to improve comfort under the teeth and protect the mouthpiece. Note : the ligature and mouthpiece cap are not included; choose them according to your saxophone and the mouthpiece dimensions (compatibility depends on the exact ligature model).
