In 1885, Henri Selmer, clarinetist, founded what was to become a world reference in the world of music. Clarinets, saxophones, trumpets and guitars will establish themselves during these 140 years as essential or even legendary instruments for certain Selmer models.
The guitar of Django Reinhardt, the trumpet of Louis Armstrong, the saxophone of John Coltrane or the clarinet of Benny Goodman have in common that they left the Selmer factory.
Selmer even invited himself into space aboard the ISS with astronaut Thomas Pesquet.
Since 1885, Selmer has never stopped innovating, reinventing itself and seeking excellence in everything they develop. They have proven it again in recent years with the release of their latest ranges of saxophones and clarinets. The Supreme and Signature saxophones as well as the Presence and Muse clarinets are brilliant successes.
To celebrate its 140 years of success, Selmer is organizing a year full of events. Throughout 2025, offers, concerts, creations …
