Full Description
View Full DescriptionIconic saxophone sound
You don't get a mouthpiece this good without some serious TLC. All Soloist mouthpieces start as a rod of hard rubber. This some-what mundane material is then expertly milled in France to give shape to this Selmer classic. Once milled, each and every mouthpiece is finished by hand to guarantee stability and accuracy, while maintaining consistent facings. This way you can buy your Soloist knowing it's ready to play straight out of the box.
When designing the Soloist, Selmer wanted a mouthpiece with all the nuanced characteristics of a classical mouthpiece, but with the potential to also play jazz. After plenty of experimenting, they finally settled on one of their most unique designs - the horseshoe chamber. When playing the Soloist, you'll quickly find that this uncommon shape produces a rich and easily modulated sound which is warm across the spectrum of playing styles.
The mouthpiece to beat
If you're a lover of the saxophone, there's a very good chance you've heard of the Selmer Soloist. Since its creation in the 1950s, the Soloist has become one of the most popular classical and jazz mouthpieces. Still to this day, many saxophone enthusiasts compare new and contemporary mouthpieces to the Soloist - simply because everyone knows, and love it.
Time for an upgrade?
If you've just purchased your first saxophone, there's a good chance the included mouthpiece will bottleneck your musical development. These cheap factory mouthpieces are made without care and attention, and can often sound lifeless.
This is why teachers and specialists have been recommending the Selmer Soloist as a "first professional mouthpiece" to students since its creation in the 50s. From the moment you play your first note, you'll notice how easily the mouthpiece speaks across all registers. It really does take the stress out of recitals, and lets you concentrate on what matters - the music.
