A Great French Signature: the SELMER Heritage and the Place of the S80
Founded in 1885, Henri SELMER Paris built its reputation on the manufacture of reeds and mouthpieces before becoming one of the most respected names in the world of wind instruments. Even today, the brand combines historical know-how and high-precision machining in its workshops to achieve exemplary production stability. Within this range, the S80 has established itself as a lasting reference: a mouthpiece designed for a classical aesthetic, appreciated for its broad sound and consistency.
For Which Saxophonist and Styles?
The SELMer S80 F tip opening is particularly aimed at classically oriented saxophonists (conservatory, ensemble, wind band, solo repertoire) seeking a centered, homogeneous, and controllable sound. It is also well suited for intermediate to advanced players looking for a reliable mouthpiece with stable response, capable of supporting intonation and articulation work. Its warm character may also appeal in variety or marching band settings when a round and clean tone is preferred.
Sound and Design
Known for its warm tone and broad sound, the S80 emphasizes a reassuring response and beautiful homogeneity across all registers. Its square chamber contributes to the model's sonic identity, providing balanced presence and a sound stability appreciated in the classical aesthetic. The F opening (2.45 mm), combined with a 27 mm table, aims for a compromise between playing comfort, control, and response, allowing precise work on dynamics, attacks, and legato.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
This mouthpiece is indicated as delivered without ligature or mouthpiece cap, so these items will need to be provided for playing. If you are unsure about compatibility (diameter, type of fastening, shape), prioritize a ligature specifically announced as compatible with your saxophone and the S80 series to ensure stable reed support and perfect fitting.
