PROFESSIONAL MATCHING
How to choose Selmer Premium Clarinet Reeds strength
Strength numbers are not universal across brands and series. Consider mouthpiece tip opening, facing length, embouchure, air support, and your usual resistance.
Compare with your current series
The same number can feel different across brands and reed profiles.
Consider the mouthpiece
More open mouthpieces are often paired with softer reeds, while closer mouthpieces may suit firmer reeds.
Check articulation
The right strength starts cleanly without excessive embouchure pressure.
Test the full range
The reed should respond consistently in the low, middle, and upper registers.
MATERIAL AND MANUFACTURING
Material, precision, and stability
Selected cane
Natural Arundo donax is sorted by structure, density, and blank geometry.
Precise profile
Control of spine, tip, and side-area thickness shapes resistance and response.
Natural variation
Natural material varies, so players test several reeds and build a working rotation.
Protective packaging
Factory packaging protects reeds before opening; a suitable reed case is recommended afterward.

CARE
How to break in and store natural reeds

Dry flat
Remove excess moisture after playing and store the reed flat in a ventilated case.
Rotate reeds
Rotation supports stable response and avoids overworking one reed.
