Soprano sax questions!?

well on getting the soprano is on u

but about which one to get ;i would go with with a keilwerth sax man those are worth what u pay for theyre a little pricy but itll last

and theyve had a good tone for me

[but thats if ur serous]

1.) If you should get one is up to you and your circumstances. I too love the sound of the soprano and really want to pick it up for myself. But when it came time for me to double, I had to choose the clarinet. It is very useful in both musicals and in a lot of swing charts, like Benny Goodman's music. Also a lot of bands require you play the clarinet as a double. And in your case If you want to play other Bb parts, the clarinet is in the same key. Also i think the clarinet might be more flexible in a concert band than a soprano. The soprano is an instrument that most sax players can play with a bit of ease, even if they are new to it. But the clarinet is a whole new animal and you might want to get started as soon as possible if you plan on continuing in music as a career. So you might want to consider the possibility of clarinet instead.

2.) If you wanna stick with the soprano I would look at either Yamaha, Selmer, or Jupiter. Selmer has higher quality, but their prices aren't always that great. I would try getting a used one of a friend or local music store, but a great place to try out some instruments would be wwbw.com. You can try the insument out for a few weeks and if you don't like just send it back. Good luck.

If you are not primarily playing i suggest buying one off of a friend or from a pawn shop. Once you get it serviced it will work well. I would look for a Yamaha because they are one of the best quality to price instruments .

If you're a musician who would rather practice your instrument instead of whatching TV,playing video games,ect.Then go buy yourself a saprano saxophone from Yamaha.
