Frequently Asked Questions

The SA80 II has a more modern keywork and improved ergonomics, offering a slightly more responsive feel than the Series III, while retaining the core Selmer tonal character.
While it resists fingerprints, the matte finish is more susceptible to deeper scratches than a traditional gloss finish, requiring careful handling and cleaning.
The S80 C* is a well-rounded mouthpiece, but players seeking a brighter, more projecting tone might prefer a different facing.
