From the manufacturer

S80 C*

Considered the reference model for classical and wind band playing, the S80 C* features a broad, full toned sound that is comfortable to play in all registers. Ideal for all types of general performance.

S90 180

The S90 has been a wildly popular mouthpiece among classical players since its introduction. Known for having an ideal balance between a direct, homogeneous sound and a supple flexibility, the S90 is extremely stabile in the upper ranges of the saxophone.

Concept

The Concept represents the next big leap in mouthpiece evolution and is truly a model of the highest acoustic precision! It features not only an innovative look but a refined design that produces a heretofore unheard of richness of sound and consistency in all ranges.

Claude DeLangle

Designed in close collaboration with Claude Delangle, H Selmer Paris has pioneered a unique, bi-material mouthpiece that features a special acoustic all its own. Based on the earliest designs of Adolfe Sax himself combined with cutting edge technological manufacturing processes, the gold-plated metal ring lines the entire bore and allows for a denser, fuller sound with increased projection.

History of Henri Selmer Pairs

In 1885 following graduation from the Conservatoire de Paris, Henri Selmer began making reeds, mouthpieces, and clarinets in Paris.

In 1898, Henri’s brother, Alexandre left for the US and began selling clarinets as he toured with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. These instruments would gain in popularity in Europe and America, winning awards at the 1900 Paris Exhibition and in 1904 St Louis World’s Fair. In 1905, Henri took over the Barbier Company, a flute maker in Paris.

In 1922, Selmer introduced its first saxophones under the name “Series 22”. In 1936, Selmer Paris truly established its’ position as the leader in saxophone design with the Balanced Action. The subsequent Super Action saxophones would follow leading up to the introduction of the Mark VI in 1954.

Today, Henri Selmer Paris is a leading manufacturer and the choice instrument of clarinet and saxophone professionals (Charlie Parker shown above) around the world. The instruments continue to be hand-crafted in Paris with the fourth generation of Selmer family members leading the company.
