Selmer S80 - C* BARITONE

Henri SELMER Paris: a historic brand dedicated to precision

Founded at the end of the 19th century, Henri SELMER Paris has established itself as a key name in the world of saxophone instruments and accessories. From the beginning, the brand developed reeds and mouthpieces with a demand for consistency that has appealed to generations of musicians. Today, Selmer combines artisan know-how with modern digital machining processes in its workshops to offer manufacturing stability and consistency that are particularly sought after in such a crucial component as the mouthpiece.

The S80 C*: a standard for building your sound

The S80 has become an iconic model in the classical aesthetic, available for the saxophone family. It is designed to help the musician achieve easy response, a structured sound, and an immediate sense of control. Since the choice of a mouthpiece remains very personal (morphology, reeds, style, airflow), the S80 C* is often selected as a reliable foundation, capable of supporting long-term progress.

For which saxophonist?

The Henri SELMER Paris S80 C* is particularly aimed at beginner to advanced saxophonists seeking a reassuring, precise, and consistent mouthpiece across all registers. It is ideal for classical music, wind orchestra, chamber music, and "clean" popular music where intonation, tone stability, and homogeneous color are prioritized. It can also suit certain traditional jazz contexts if you are looking for a round sound rather than a very bright timbre.

Sound and design

With its C* opening and square chamber, the S80 aims for a stable response and a wide, full, and warm sound. The playing feel promotes good note centering, controlled projection, and appreciable homogeneity between low, middle, and high registers. The 27 mm table length contributes to the sense of control and comfort in sound production, especially in attacks and soft dynamics.

Recommended compatible accessories

This mouthpiece comes with a mouthpiece patch. The ligature and mouthpiece cap are not included: be sure to choose a ligature and cap compatible with the S80 format and the saxophone in question (alto, tenor, etc.).
