A "new Unison C soprano"? (Actually 5 years old?) Impossible. Wouldn't someone here have heard about it?

Someone is a little confused about how to use an electronic tuner.

Probably some place that knows nothing about instruments.

...or else they have intonation problems similar to mine. :roll:

It's been relisted, as a Bb.

And yet, somehow, I'm not feeling a surge of confidence..

It's a shame that we don't have a modern day manufacturer of this once maligned little jewel.

I think it is time to revisit the need and diverse applications of a C soprano sax. Mike

I bet we will see one from Taiwan in the next few years. The US mfgs. never will venture into it and Asians just have a greater desire to increase their market share. It makes far more sense to make a C soprano than a Bb as the concert pitch makes it far easier to blend in to church music and gives an amature a chance to get into a setting that is adaptable. I find that my old Conn C is far more fun than all of the Bbs I have owned. Too bad the pitch is a nightmare!

Hope you're right. The first C soprano with a decent scale and a feather touch, I'm there with the mula. 8) Mike
