Selmer Paris S90 Alto Sax Mouthpiece, 180

Full Description

Time for an upgrade?

If you've just purchased your first saxophone, there's a good chance the included mouthpiece will bottleneck your musical development. These cheap factory mouthpieces are made without care and attention, and can often sound lifeless.

This is why teachers and specialists have been recommending the Selmer S90 as a "first professional mouthpiece" to students since its creation in the 90s. From the moment you play your first note, you'll notice how easily the mouthpiece speaks across all registers. It really does take the stress out of recitals, and lets you concentrate on what matters - the music.

Iconic saxophone sound

You don't get a mouthpiece this good without some serious TLC. All S90 mouthpieces start as a rod of hard rubber. This some-what mundane material is then expertly milled in France to give shape to this Selmer classic. Once milled, each and every mouthpiece is finished by hand to guarantee stability and accuracy, while maintaining consistent facings. This way you can buy your S90 knowing it's ready to play straight out of the box.

When designing the S90, Selmer wanted a mouthpiece with similar characteristics to the S80, but with a more direct tone. After lots of experimenting, they settled on simply expanding the existing square chamber, and this gave them the exact tone they were looking for. When playing the S90, you'll find this shape of chamber produces a homogeneous sound with great flexibility and suppleness.
