The Selmer C-Star mouthpiece is a professional-grade ebonite (hard rubber) mouthpiece for alto saxophone, precision-crafted in France . You receive a piece from the legendary S80 series, widely regarded as the standard reference for classical saxophone performance . Its defining characteristic is the C* (C-Star) facing, which features a tip opening of 1.70mm and a facing length of 22.00mm . The design incorporates a square tone chamber, engineered to deliver remarkable tonal complexity and a centered, focused sound across all dynamic levels .
This mouthpiece produces a warm, round, and refined tone with excellent intonation and even response throughout the horn's range . It offers moderate resistance, allowing for precise dynamic control and a centered, projecting sound ideal for concert band, orchestral, and solo classical repertoire. Students advancing from stock mouthpieces and seasoned professionals alike consistently choose this model for its reliability, consistency, and pure, unforced sound quality. Its ebonite construction provides a warm, dark tonal foundation with less projection than metal jazz mouthpieces, placing it firmly in the classical tradition .
