- Doubling saxophonists who want a consistent classical setup on bari

When to look elsewhere

What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Model 180
In S90 numbering, the number indicates the facing. 180 is the more closed of the common options, favoring control.
Detail 03
Closer facing
Easier to control pitch and articulation, less demanding on the embouchure, but harder to push for volume.
Detail 04
Baritone sax fit
Sized for baritone necks only. It will not work on alto or tenor.
Detail 05
$419 price
Professional tier. A real step up in cost from student pieces, and typical for Selmer Paris.
Final check
Know before you order

- 02Your current ligature may not fit; check the dimensions before assuming it carries over.
- 03A closer facing usually means softer reeds than you use now.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with a ligature?
No. It is the mouthpiece by itself. Budget for a ligature and cap sized to fit a baritone hard rubber piece.
02What reed strength should I use?
A more closed facing generally pairs with a softer reed than a wide-open piece. Start below your current strength and adjust from there.
03Is this good for jazz?
The S90 is built for classical and ensemble playing. Players wanting a brighter, louder jazz sound usually look at a more open piece.
04Will my alto mouthpiece cap fit?
No. Baritone mouthpieces are considerably larger. You need a cap and ligature made for baritone.
