SEL MER: a French tradition dedicated to precision
Founded at the end of the 19th century, Henri SELMER Paris has established itself as a key house in the world of wind instruments, notably thanks to its mouthpieces and reeds. Over the decades, the brand has built its reputation on constant manufacturing excellence, evolving its production methods while maintaining a rigorous approach to table profiles, openings, and chambers. Today, high-precision machining work allows for remarkable consistency from one mouthpiece to another, an essential criterion when seeking a reliable model for study, orchestra, or conservatory.
The S80 C**: for which saxophonists and contexts?
The Selmer S80 C** is primarily aimed at beginner to advanced saxophonists looking for a stable mouthpiece that is easy to handle and consistent across all registers. It is particularly suitable for classical aesthetics (conservatory, chamber music, wind orchestra), but can also be an excellent choice in variety when a round and centered sound is desired. Its design helps maintain control of intonation and work on timbre homogeneity, from low to high notes.
Sound and design
The S80 is known for its warm timbre and broad, ample sound, with a stability highly appreciated in classical playing. The C** opening (2.00 mm) combined with a 23 mm table promotes comfortable emission while maintaining a good level of resistance to shape the sound precisely. The square chamber contributes to the mouthpiece's personality: a structured sound, good response, and consistent projection, ideal for maintaining clear phrasing in both technical passages and long legato lines.
Recommended compatible accessories
This mouthpiece is delivered with a mouthpiece patch. The ligature and mouthpiece cap are not included: to ensure perfect compatibility, it is recommended to choose a ligature and mouthpiece cap specifically designed for the Selmer S80 and your type of saxophone (alto, tenor, etc.).
