1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Selmer Paris S90 baritone sax mouthpiece, 190 facing. A step-up piece for players outgrowing the mouthpiece that came with the horn.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Baritone players in concert band or wind ensemble
- Students moving up from a stock student mouthpiece
- Doublers who want a consistent Selmer feel across horns
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Alto or tenor players — baritone only
- Anyone needing a loud, bright, cutting rock or funk sound
- Beginners in their first months on the instrument
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
S90 series
Selmer's long-running square-chamber design. Known for even response across the horn rather than an aggressive edge.
Detail 03
Baritone-specific bore
Sized for a baritone neck only. It will not seat on alto or tenor necks.
Detail 04
$419 price
Professional tier. Expect a noticeable jump in consistency and intonation over the mouthpiece packed with a student horn.
Detail 05
Hard rubber construction typical of the S90
Warms to your mouth quickly and stays stable, but discolors if left in sunlight or washed in hot water.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between the 180 and 190?
Tip opening. The 190 is more open, so it takes a slightly softer reed and offers a wider dynamic range, at the cost of a little more air.
02Does it come with a ligature?
No. You get the mouthpiece and cap only. Plan on a baritone ligature sized for a Selmer S90 body.
03What reeds should I use with it?
Most players drop about half a strength from what they use on a stock mouthpiece. Buy a mixed pack and test before committing.
04Will this fit my alto or tenor?
No. This is the baritone model and is bored for a baritone neck only.
