Selmer ParisSuper Session Soprano Saxophone Mouthpiece Model E
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Selmer Paris soprano sax mouthpiece with a Super Session facing. For soprano players who want a freer-blowing piece than a classical S80.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Soprano players wanting more volume and projection than a classical piece
- Doubling players moving between jazz and pop settings
- Anyone already on Selmer soprano gear seeking a matched upgrade
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Classical soprano players needing a tightly focused, blended tone
- Alto, tenor or bari players — soprano only
- Beginners still building embouchure control on a stock piece
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
Super Session design
Selmer's freer-blowing line versus the classical S80. More air moves through, so volume comes easier at the cost of some focus.
Detail 03
Soprano-specific
Soprano mouthpieces are small and tolerances are tight. A few thousandths of tip change alters response more than on tenor.
Detail 04
Hard rubber body
Warmer and darker than metal. Also softer — it scratches and can discolor with sun and age.
Detail 05
Selmer Paris manufacture
Consistent facing work between units, so replacing a worn one gets you close to the same feel.

- 03Soprano shank sizes vary by horn brand; confirm fit on your neck cork
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What reed strength should I use with this?
Start one half-strength below what you use now and adjust. A freer-blowing piece generally takes a slightly softer reed than a close classical setup.
02Will my existing ligature fit?
Not guaranteed. Soprano hard rubber mouthpieces vary in outside diameter. Measure or try your ligature before committing to it.
03How is this different from the S80 C*?
The Super Session is the freer-blowing line. The S80 C* is the classical-focused option with more resistance and a more contained sound.
04Does it work on any soprano saxophone?
It fits standard soprano necks, but cork thickness varies. A tight or loose fit is a cork adjustment, not a mouthpiece problem.
