As I start my journey looking for a 'professional' soprano, with my eyes set on the high end of things, I am wondering if what I have is simply a REALLY GOOD cheap one.
I have a saxophone.com soprano.
I know, the name is not the best branding, but his horns are pretty darn good.
My first tenor was an unlacquered red brass 'professional' model from them which I really liked, but some intonation issues were getting in my way so I upgraded (also because I could) to a MK VII that i am in horn love with.
I also have a student model alto I picked up for very little $, only so I could more easily play with my daughter who plays alto. I actually found I liked the tone of the sax.com better than her Yamaha YAS-23, but ultimately fell yet again in horn love with a 6M tranny.
However, the saxophone.com soprano i picked up used, but basically new (played twice before me for some session work in a studio that went defunct very fast, good deal for me).
Anyway, I really like the tone I get out of the thing, and find playing it to be great.
Ultimately, I might buy a MK VI or a SA80, etc. just because, but I am honestly thinking I have a great horn.
So, does anyone have a soprano they LOVE that is a very cheap horn.
Would be curious if you are a hobbiest or pro musician as well.
