SELME R: French Tradition and Modern Precision
Founded in 1885, the house of Henri SELMER Paris has established itself over time as an essential reference for saxophonists, notably thanks to its mouthpieces and reeds. Today, the brand combines its historical expertise with modern machining processes in its Mantes-la-Ville workshops to ensure high manufacturing consistency. Within the SELMER range, the S80 holds an iconic place: a mouthpiece designed to meet the demands for precision, intonation, and sound coherence expected in classical music.
For Which Saxophonists and Styles
The SELME R S80 C** is aimed both at intermediate saxophonists looking to settle on a reliable mouthpiece and at advanced musicians seeking a proven standard. It is particularly suited for classical music (conservatory, wind orchestra, chamber music), but also works very well for pop and ensembles where a round, clean, and well-controlled sound with precise articulation is preferred.
Sound and Design
The S80 is known for its warm tone and broad, full sound, with a playing feel that emphasizes control and stability. Its square chamber contributes to centered emission and good homogeneity across registers, while facilitating intonation work. With a C** opening (2.15 mm) and a 27 mm table length, this mouthpiece offers an effective compromise: accessible response, sound hold, and comfort in dynamics, particularly appreciated in classical contexts.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The mouthpiece comes with a mouthpiece patch. Since the ligature and mouthpiece cap are not included, you can choose a model adapted to your saxophone and your tightening preferences (flexibility, attack precision, resistance feel). In case of doubt about compatibility (depending on the exact saxophone model), it is advisable to check the dimensions before purchase.
