New reeds for clarinet and saxophone

Acoustic signature

​Thanks to its acoustic expertise and collaboration with musicians from diverse backgrounds, Henri SELMER Paris has created a new reed profile offering a distinctive acoustic signature, characterized by exceptional density, roundness and sonic warmth.

Our reeds are currently available for soprano, alto and tenor saxophones, as well as for Bb/A clarinets.

Careful calibration

Henri SELMER Paris reeds are available in strengths 2 to 4, and are calibrated by ¼ strength between 2.5 and 3.5. The gaps between reeds in the same box are reduced to a minimum, offering the musician a greater number of excellent reeds.

The best-selling Strenght No. 3 has been chosen as a benchmark for comparison with the main models on the market.

Manufacturing precision

Each reed is carefully crafted on traditional high-precision machines, guaranteeing even cut quality and a greater number of good reeds per box.

The Keyence laser profile reader plays an essential role in maintaining this quality.​ It carefully scan the bevel of each reed, guaranteeing exceptional precision.

Furthermore, in order to preserve the vibratory qualities of the reed, the marking of the force and the Henri SELMER Paris logo is carried out on the bark of the reed and not on the table of the reed.

Reed quality
