Does anyone have a suggestion for where to get a neck expander that works on soprano necks? The soprano opening is too small to fit the rollers on the "can opener" expander we use on alto, tenor, and bari. Thanks.

A soprano or alto flute headjoint expander? Perhaps a bass trombone slide expander, a baritone slide expander or a small tuba expander would work. Take the neck tenon ID and call Craig Anderson at Allied and see which one might fit it closest. It's worth a shot.

Boehm has a soprano sax neck expander. It is here number 554S and is called... you guessed it... expander for soprano sax

I don't know anything about it though, never tried it.

Jerry, I am not familiar with "Anderson". Can you give more details.

Thanks clarnibass, but I can't find a website for Boehm tools either. Do you have a web address? We might have their catalog at our shop. I'll check when I go to work today.

Using the euro conversion chart (if I did it correctly) converts 220.00 euro to $322.75 USD. While outstanding quality as all Bohm tools are, not a cheap tool if you use it only once in a while.

Maybe he saved some money in Canadian dollars

Not much Nitai. Yesterday's exchange was .9608 Canadian to the USD. It's about as even par as I've ever seen it.

Right.... which is exactly why if he saved money in Canadian $ he would not pay as much for the Boehm expander...
