Selmer alto sax mouthpiece with strong control
The Selmer S80 C* Alt is an alto sax mouthpiece that has been widely chosen in the classical saxophone world for decades. You will find this model with classical saxophonists, conservatory students, and players in concert band and wind band settings who value control, precision, and even tone production.
The C* version has a relatively closed 1.55 mm tip opening. You notice that immediately in the response: the mouthpiece reacts accurately to your attack and gives you plenty of control in soft passages and clear, fast articulation.
Homogeneous tone and ebonite construction
Selmer makes the S80 C* from high-quality ebonite, also known as hard rubber. Here, that material contributes to rich resonance and long service life, while keeping the tone homogeneous and easy to blend with other instruments.
That is especially valuable for ensemble and section playing. If you play in a wind band, concert band, or classical saxophone section, this alto sax mouthpiece helps you sit steadily and cleanly in the overall sound.
A standard choice for classical saxophone
The Selmer S80 C* is widely recommended as a strong option for developing embouchure and tone production. That makes this mouthpiece appealing not only to advanced players, but also for study at music school or conservatory level.
Each Selmer Paris S80 is finished with great precision in Mantes-la-Ville. At Magna Music, you can also count on advice from people who play and work with instruments themselves, which is useful when you want a mouthpiece that suits your alto sax and playing style.
