This is the "standard" mouthpiece for ensemble players. It works well for everyone, beginners to pros, because it is easy to play and you can 'blend' in with your fellow section mates. You can solo with this, but I would choose something else if that was my gig.Yes, it is expensive compared to many of the other ebonite mouthpieces, but with proper care, it will last your entire career. I am still playing a 26-year old C* on my alto sax and purchased a new one for security. The same holds true for this tenor mouthpiece as well as my soprano mouthpiece. It works well with a wide variety of reeds and sounds great in all registers. I use mine with a Rovner ligature and play Selmer Super Action 80 and Mark VI horns - soprano, alto, and tenor.

Amazing! I was stuck with a cheap crappy starter mouthpiece! But ever since I got this mouthpiece, my sound and tone sounds beautiful, and helps with notes such as the low C. It gives a nice dark warm tone to, but one thing I always have to clean it or it becomes yellow and disgusting inside. But other than that it is amazing.

You know I have a alto S80 Mouthpiece. Selmer C* really are the standard for great mouthpieces. Is it the best? Idk, depends on what you are looking for. It has a dark tone that is quite warm sounding. This is a great ensemble mouthpiece; it's so easy to blend and tune with this.The only complaint that people have is that it's a bit characterless. It's not that I disagree, but the C* S80 is about blending and having a consistent warm dark sound that is quite beautiful. Which is what I need. If I want character or something that sticks out quite a bit, I'll get an Otto Link or something, but as far as ensemble play, not much beats it.

after a couple Yamaha and a couple vandoren mouthpieces I finally bought the more expensive selmer, which would have been cheaper had I bought it in the first place. very good tone and excellent dynamics.

I play a combination of classical and jazz on the tenor sax and find that the Selmer S-80 C* is the best all round mouthpiece for getting the sound that I want for different types of music. This is on the basis of having used a number of different plastic or hard rubber mouthpieces. I've never tried a metal mouthpiece, but since I'm satisfied with the Selmer, I'm in no hurry to do so.

I am very impressed with the sound of this product. I played Saxophone through my school years and afterwards did not playfor over 30 years. I have only been playing again for a couple of months and this is my fourth mouthpiece. This is by fara superior mouthpiece and is easy to tune. It is takes very little effort to produce and clear warm tone and I adjusted to itvery quickly. I highly recommend this product, well worth the price.

We got a bad Selmer C Star and sent it back to Selmer Paris. The mouth piece was not right and we had two different accomplished saxophone players tell us this. We sent the C* back to Selmer only for them to say that nothing was wrong with it. We paid too much for something that was defective and Selmer Paris has a bad reputation when it comes to warranty's (just Google it and see for yourself). We were loaned another C* and the difference is night and day!Update: Selmer made good on the mouthpiece but it took months and many phone calls.
