## Description

Mouthpiece, alto sax, s-80 Selmer Paris, C* tip opening: MED close 1.70/ Facing length: MED 22.00.

Review: Very impressive. - I just started playing saxophone about a week before I bought this. Even not knowing much about saxophones, I could already tell a difference from the one my Yamaha saxophone came with. Supposedly that one was already a good one, but this clearly sounds better.
Review: Great mouthpiece, came highly suggested and didn't dissappoint - Got this mouthpiece for son based on the suggestion of his private lesson teacher and the band director. He had been playing sax for two years and was advanced past the beginner stage. This year he was trying out for a competitive Jazz Band and they suggested he could improve his tone and playability with this mouthpiece. He tried once and never looked back...he loved the feel and sound and has used this mouthpiece ever since. As a parent I was a little shocked by the price but it was competitive with other mouthpieces and I know instruments are expensive....The Selmer S-80 C got great reviews so we felt comfortable making the purchase and it didn't disappoint. Fast forward six months later and he is still loving this mouthpiece and made both the competitive jazz band and top concert band at his middle school. Mouthpiece shows no signs of wear and tear and seems like it will last a long time even though he plays at least 5 days a week. Great product, I am very happy with this purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What would be the best ligature for this mouthpeice?**
A: Because of different playing styles, its very  hard to say which ligature would be best. In our experience, the Rovner 1RL (Dark) suits many playing styles and is both durable and affordable. There are many other options, though.

**Q: I just bought a Selmer Super Action 80 Series 3 alto sax & the outside diameter of the neck measures roughly 5/8"'s.  Will this mouthpiece fit it?**
A: My son has an alto sax. (not sure of the specifics as it's currently not here at home) I was able to measure the outside diameter of the original mouthpiece that came w/the sax - It's about 7/8". Not sure if that will help you at all.

**Q: Does it fit Yamaha alto sax**
A: This mouthpiece should fit any brand of alto sax.

**Q: Would this mouthpiece be a good fit for a Le Blanc (Paris) alto sax, mine in high school, it’s around 45 yrs old?**
A: The Selmer C-star mouthpiece is one of the most popular mouthpieces in the world.  It works well for almost everybody and is the preferred mouthpiece for most people playing in groups or school bands.  The only time you might need (or want) anything else is if you are an accomplished jazz soloist.
