Selmer Paris S90 Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece
New Facing Designs!

Based around the popular S80 mouthpiece, the S90 alto sax mouthpiece uses a similar design and concept with it’s key difference being the chamber. Both the S80 and S90 alto sax mouthpieces use a square tone chamber. However, the S90 alto sax mouthpiece uses a “stepped” chamber. As the square chamber opens into the larger round back end of the mouthpiece, there is a ridge around the chamber that helps to add a little more focus and quicker response to the mouthpiece. The S90 alto sax mouthpieces will also be a bit brighter than the S80 models.

Additional Information

New Facing Designs
Selmer Paris changed all of their facing designs back in approximately 2016, but many websites & facing charts still show the old facing/tip measurements. These changes were to both the tip opening and the facing length. The changes were done to “improve the acoustical response” according to Selmer Paris. The model sizes below are for the current new mouthpiece production. If you would like to read more about the facing design changes, read Dave Kessler’s Blog Post about it here.

Available Models
The S90 alto sax mouthpiece is available in the following sizes/models:

- 170 – 1.35 mm Tip, 24mm Facing
- 180 – 1.45 mm Tip, 24mm Facing
- 190 – 1.55 mm Tip, 24mm Facing
- 200 – 1.65 mm Tip, 24mm Facing

Kessler & Sons Music offers a 3 day trial / return policy by default on S90 alto mouthpieces. There are no cleaning fees or restocking fees (assuming that the item is returned in proper condition).

In order to protect the mouthpiece against scratches & marks when testing, we install a tooth patch before shipping. You are responsible for the condition of the mouthpiece while you are testing it. We highly recommend testing with a fabric style ligature to reduce the risk of scratching. Mouthpieces that are returned with irreparable scratches/marks might not be accepted for return.

Please read our terms & conditions (link at the bottom of the page) for full details on this policy.
