After nearly 50 years of playing I decided to get a soprano. ( I always hated the sound of every one I ever tried) I picked up the cheap WWBW 2 neck model. After switching mouthpieces as suggested by Dave D and 6 months of practice I got pretty comfortable with the upper end. That was several years ago. I have been very impressed with this horn for the price. I wish I could find out who made it?
For the last 10 months I have been shopping for a new soprano and have tried all the big four plus P Mauriat and Cannonball but my inability to choose and the sound I get from from this horn have kept me from making the leap. It will happen at some point.
The other night at band I soloed on Le Petite Fleur and got asked by the band director and 2 other members if I had a new horn? And the answer was no just PRACTICING more! I had been playing this solo a half dozen times a day to memorize it as well as working on some tough sax quartet pieces.
The more I practice the better this horn gets! Even the intonation issue with low C has gone away. Nuff said!!
