What's behind

Conception

Henri SELMER Paris sources only the finest wild-grown Arundo donax cane from the Var region in southern France. Known for its high fiber density, this cane ensures superior durability and stable response, even in changing climates. It grows in a pristine environment, free from pesticides.

Each reed is carefully crafted on traditional machines high precision designed to maintain our high quality standards. Mechanically guided profile cutters ensure excellent consistency.

These reeds are available in strengths 2 to 4, and are calibrated by ¼ strength between 2.5 and 3.5 to reduce dispersion and so offer musicians a greater number of good reeds in the same box.

To preserve the reed’s vibration, strength markings and the Henri SELMER Paris logo are laser-engraved on the bark, not the vamp.

They are packaged ecologically, without plastic, and come with a recyclable, compostable and ergonomic reed holder, underlining the brand's environmental commitment.

Testimonials

In collaborating with Selmer on these new reeds, we really aimed to achieve a balance between flexibility, consistency, and richness of sound, and I think we've succeeded. The fact that they are available in quarter strengths allows for even more refinement in the selection process, making it easier to find exactly the right reed for you.
