I'd like to resurrect this conversation because the previous threads that I could find seem inconclusive (and are a year old and maybe we have new info).
I have an opportunity to buy a SS981 soprano (not to be confused with the SN981 sopranino) at a decent discount to the SS991, and would like to understand the differences. The two general opinions that I've found are:
1. The 981 is a precursor to the 991, and is essentially the same model, but without the high G key.
2. The 981 is missing 991 features such as the ribbed posts, essentially making it a 901 with detatchable necks.
Does anyone know the true nature of this elusive horn????.......
