The clarinet established a reputation for affordability and high quality and by 1978, sold over one million units. The clarinet was modeled after the famous Selmer Paris BT clarinet used by notable artists like Benny Goodman.

In 1909, Alexandre moved to New York City as the principal clarinetist for the New York Philharmonic. The Selmer clarinets grew quite a following and in 1904, even received a gold medal at the World’s Fair in St Louis.
