Selmer S80 - D

An Iconic Mouthpiece in the Henri SELMER Paris Legacy

Founded at the end of the 19th century, Henri SELMER Paris initially made its mark by producing reeds and mouthpieces before becoming a worldwide reference brand among saxophonists. This reputation was built on a constant demand for accuracy, playing comfort, and manufacturing quality. Today, digital machining in the Mantes-la-Ville workshops allows for high precision and production stability that are particularly sought after in a mouthpiece: from one piece to another, the playing feel remains consistent.

For Which Saxophonist and Styles?

The SELmer S80 primarily targets beginner to advanced saxophonists seeking a reliable mouthpiece that is easy to master and suited for a "clean" and centered playing style. It is especially comfortable in classical music (conservatory, wind ensemble, orchestra), but also fits well in variety and ensemble contexts where stable sound production, good homogeneity, and a broad tone without excessive brightness are desired.

Sound and Design

With its square chamber, the S80 is designed to offer a broad sound, controlled projection, and a warm timbre that remains clear across dynamics. The D tip opening (2.25 mm) and the 27 mm table promote a good balance between comfort, consistent sound production, and stability: the attack is clean, note sustain is reliable, and registers remain coherent. It is a reassuring choice for building a solid air column and working on intonation as well as dynamics.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This mouthpiece is sold without ligature or mouthpiece cap, so you will need to provide a ligature and a mouthpiece cap suited to your saxophone and your preferred tightness. The included mouthpiece patch helps protect the mouthpiece and improves comfort against the teeth.
