Selmer S80 - C*

An Iconic Mouthpiece in the Henri SELMER Paris Heritage

Founded at the end of the 19th century, Henri SELMER Paris has established itself as a key reference in the world of wind instruments, notably through its reeds and mouthpieces. The S80 fully embodies this tradition: a mouthpiece that has become a "benchmark model" for saxophone, sought after for its reliability and sonic signature. Today, manufacturing precision, enhanced by modern machining processes, ensures a highly appreciated consistency from one mouthpiece to another, while maintaining the brand's high standards.

For Which Saxophonist and Style?

The Henri SELMER Paris S80 C* is primarily intended for beginner to advanced saxophonists who want to build a stable, centered, and expressive sound. It is particularly well-suited for classical music (conservatory, ensemble, wind orchestra), but also works very well for musicians in pop or marching band settings who seek a round sound without harshness, with beautiful breadth.

Sound and Design

The S80 is renowned for its warm timbre and broad tone, with a sense of stability that helps maintain a "settled" and homogeneous sound. Its C* opening promotes comfortable control, useful for working on intonation, attack, and dynamics, especially in sustained passages and legato playing. The round chamber contributes to this full and ample aesthetic, while maintaining good ease of blowing for consistent playability across the entire range.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This mouthpiece comes with a mouthpiece patch (table protection). Since the ligature and mouthpiece cap are not included, be sure to choose a model specifically compatible with your saxophone and mouthpiece (compatibility varies depending on the instrument: alto, tenor, etc.).
