Among its various versions, the C* variant stands as the most popular, earning its status as a go-to choice, especially for those embarking on their first upgrade from a standard student mouthpiece.

What sets this mouthpiece apart is its ability to unlock a diverse range of tonal possibilities, creating a sonic landscape that resonates with depth and clarity. Musicians, particularly those in the early stages of their journey, find the C* variant to be a transformative upgrade, elevating their playing experience and allowing for a more nuanced expression of their musical intentions.

The rich sound produced by this mouthpiece is a result of meticulous craftsmanship and a keen understanding of the intricacies of saxophone design. It strikes a delicate balance between warmth and projection, making it versatile across various musical genres and settings. Whether navigating soulful jazz improvisations or tackling classical repertoire with precision, the C* remains a steadfast companion for musicians seeking reliability and excellence.

Its popularity as the initial step into the realm of professional-grade mouthpieces underscores its reputation as a trusted choice among both educators and performers. The C* not only serves as a gateway to enhanced sonic possibilities but also as a testament to the enduring legacy of quality and craftsmanship associated with this revered mouthpiece.

Staff Review

"The Selmer S80 is a great choice for anyone looking to for a more controlled and reserved sound without losing character. Generally, it sits on the warmer side of mouthpieces, but a little brighter and less resistant than most other Selmer ‘classical’ mouthpieces. Playing the C* offered a wide range of dynamics, all the way down to pianissimo, with a lot of clarity and depth across the range. At wider tip openings this may also be a good choice for jazz players who are looking for a warmer sound, and perhaps a little more resistance. The mouthpiece is resonant across the range and offers a rich sound without being overly complex. The S80 is a great mouthpiece for classical students looking for their first upgrade, alongside advancing students and professionals looking for a consistent mouthpiece with an adaptable sound." - Lucy
