If so, your thoughts if you please. Thinking about a new sop soon, but not sure I want to/can afford a new Yamaha or Yanagisawa. I play an older Jupiter 547 now, and would kind of like to stay with what's familiar as far as ergonimics go. Any feedback would be most appreciated.

I actually have both the Alto and Bari Silver Plated Artist Series saxes and was thinking about getting the matching soprano because I recently did a gig for a musical and being an Eb only musician... transposing clarinet to alto throughout the entire musical was NOT fun at all. I would also like to know how the Jupiter Sopranos play and how they sound tonally and what not.

I play a 947 Artist series and love it. It is the best soprano I've played. I had a Mk VI soprano for 6 months and borrowed a Yamaha 62 for 3 months (which I did like a lot compared to the Mk VI). However, the the Jupiter 947 is a great soprano IMHO. I never feel the Jupiter is holding me back in any way. Merlin, is on SOTW and is a jupiter artist. You should send him a PM about the Jupiter artist sopranos. The Jupiters sound great, the ergos are wonderful, intonation is very good and I've had no issues with mine in two years.

Have owned a 847 silver plate model and thought it was great. My only complaint was that I didn't like the left pinky cluster as it seemed overly large to me. Excellent, nearly perfect intonation and a very focused and full sound.
