Brand History:
In 1885 following graduation from the Conservatoire de Paris, Henri Selmer began making reeds, mouthpieces, and clarinets in Paris.  In 1898, Henri’s brother, Alexandre left for the US and began selling clarinets as he toured with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.  These instruments would gain in popularity in Europe and America, winning awards at the 1900 Paris Exhibition and in 1904 St Louis World’s Fair.  In 1905, Henri took over the Barbier Company, a flute maker in Paris. 

Today, Selmer Paris is a leading manufacturer and the choice instrument of clarinet and saxophone professionals around the world.  The instruments continue to be hand-crafted in Paris with the fourth generation of Selmer family members leading the company.
