Since Selmer owns Buescher, they ought to try redoing the True Tone soprano.
Hypothetical Reference ____ Soprano
Here's a hypothetical for all you SOTW inventive geniuses (i.e. everyone):
I saw/heard a local player yesterday who had a Selmer Serie III soprano in silver plate (beautiful!), and being a Ref. 36 player, I asked myself a series of questions which I had fun trying to answer. It occured to me that others might be interested in considering the same.
If Selmer decided to make a Reference version of the soprano, what year would they choose, and on what would they base their retro/modern soprano? Would the reference model be a Selmer at all, or another vintage instrument? What characteristics would this beastie have?
Weigh in, have fun.
