S80 C*

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.

This was required for my child's middle school alto saxophone. We got it about a year ago and it seems to be holding up well and the sound is great, especially considering my son has only played for a year.

I am a freshman in college for music and have had the same mouthpiece since the fifth grade. Yes the one that came WITH my saxophone. My friend that plays professionally let me try out his mouthpiece and I fell in love. It is a bit pricey but I have never been more confident in the way I sound. The tone is clear and I have so much control over volume. I use this mouthpiece to play both classical and jazz and it works amazing for both. I highly recommend.

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.

I was overjoyed with the big full sound the first day. I read all the amazon reviews of all the HS students and their proud parents and it sounded like what I wanted. Plus I could return it if I needed something else. This mouthpiece has a strange brownish color inside looking from the reed end. Maybe it was returned by someone else? I am no expert on these mouthpieces. I have learned from this: try one in the store if possible, maybe buy 3 and return 2 that don't work as well. It comes in a cheap box with a nice velvet (felt) bag with draw strings and a fancy brochure with much interesting info. There is a list of saxophone greats from history. And the best picture of Adolph Sax I have ever seen. The second most surprising thing is the next day I played and I had already gotten used to it so the excitement was COMPLETELY gone. Several days later I used the Yamaha 4C and could not tell much difference at all. Then I tried the MP that came with the horn. It wasn't that bad. So are we mesmerized about what a difference a different MP makes? Has my embouchure improved so much that I can make the horn sound like I want it to? Did I just get the wrong size tip opening? I don't know. I don't want to go to the post office any time soon so I'll take a trip to the big city and maybe try some MPs before I buy another.

Perfect Thank You
