Outstanding product and so easy to order. Thank you for the great service. Not easy to find sopranino saxophone mouthpieces and ligatures and yours are the best. I’ve just ordered a cap from you!

Mouthpiece without the free ligature

I purchased a sopranino saxophone mouthpiece directly from the Selmer website because they were offering a free ligature. I received the mouthpiece, but no ligature, despite having sent two emails requesting one (with no response). I expected much different behavior from a well-known company like Selmer: I don't think they need to save some euros for a ligature, which was promised on the website and then never shipped. I've purchased three Selmer saxophones and numerous Selmer mouthpieces in my life, so I'm very disappointed.

Addendum 28.08.25 : Selmer write me today that the free ligature will be shipped ! So now 5 stars.

Delivery slow and box partially crushed.

Usually the delivery is very quick but in this instance, the item was stuck in the Paris airport for a week. Also the packaging was not very effective. When the parcel arrived the box was partially crushed. Luckily the contents in this instance was not affected. I have photos of the both boxes I can send you. Please contact me by email and I can send them to you. Thanks.

Selmer Jazz tenor reeds

I bought a box of Selmer Jazz tenor saxophone reeds and non of the five reeds played well. In addition, I doudt the reed strength chart is too inaccurate to be usefull. I normally play D'addario Select Jazz 3H and Selmer's 3.5 was clearly harder. The reed cutter that I also purchased is good.

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry the Jazz tenor reeds didn’t meet your expectations. Could you let us know which brand/model/strength you usually play? This will help us check the best match with the 3.5 reeds you tried. We’re glad you’re satisfied with the reed cutter and appreciate your input.

Hello to the Selmer-team,
I already wrote to you some days ago. because I ordered a mouthpiece on your side around the 30st of June, I paid Euro 186.- on the 1st of July. so the payment was made. now I still wait to get this new mouthpiece from you. I'm wondering what happened?
can you please check, whether you sent it to me and it got lost on the way to Greece? I appreciate your answer,
sincerely,
G. Kavalaris-Meier

Reeds

The bass clarinet reeds with strength n° 3 were perfect in strength comparable to Vandoren tradional, V12 & V21 and to consider. I prefer reeds with a lighter strength, I can still work on that.
The clarinet reeds n° 3 were a disappointment for me. Those reeds were comparable to a strength comparable to Vandoren traditional n° 3.5 and therefore unusable for me.
