Conn Selmer Corporate Overview
We're passionate about music and dedicated to producing the highest-quality instruments for musicians of all skill levels.
The Leading Manufacturer and Distributor of Musical Instruments
Conn Selmer is the leading manufacturer and distributor of musical instruments, with a wide range of options for students, amateurs, and professionals alike. Our portfolio includes some of the most respected brands in the industry, such as Bach, Conn, King, Holton, Selmer, Armstrong, Leblanc, Ludwig, Musser, and Scherl & Roth. We're also the North American distributor of Henri Selmer Paris woodwinds and the U.S. distributor of Yanagisawa saxophones.
A History of Innovation and Excellence
Our company has a long history of innovation and excellence in craftsmanship. We've grown through strategic acquisitions, merging with other industry leaders like the Selmer Company, Steinway Piano Company, and United Musical Instruments (UMI) to form Conn Selmer. In 2013, Conn Selmer and Steinway became private companies, owned by Paulson & Co. Today, as a subsidiary of Steinway Musical Instruments, Inc., we continue to strive for musical excellence and bring a wide range of high-quality instruments to musicians everywhere.
