I have been playing primarily tenor in R&B bands for the last decade and a half and last year burnt out and quit playing. Over the last six months I've come back to soprano exclusively. I do have a tenor sub gig next month but I was somewhat fascinated that tenor was soooooo easy after devoting all my daily practice to the soprano when I pulled it out of the closet this week. I've always been able to pick up the soprano for a gig and play in tune but only after a half a year of real focus am I really starting to understand what it really takes in terms of air stream on the soprano especially in the palm keys and alt. Translating that to tenor means 1) altissimo is very easy, and 2) tenor seems so easy to play
Who else is devoting all their saxophone energy to just the soprano?
