Great video. I just purchased one this morning in the same color. I’ll be using a Otto link tone edge and legere reed with it. Would be cool to see another video of you playing it today with an update on your experience with it.
Great review you took it step by step and the lesson here is if you’re good you’re good a 6 thousand dollar sax will not play the sax for you you still need to learn the basics I got one which is basic and I’m getting on well with it it doesn’t have to be a big brand as such, whatever works for you
Hi David!) Great review, I wanted to ask if it is worth buying this saxophone now? I don’t have a single soprano saxophone yet, but I am a professional saxophonist
@@davidsylvester100 I just played mine at a wedding last month! Man that growl you did was insane! I still have a lot of work to put in... You have skill.
I have only good experiences with Chinese horns. I'll add a link to me playing a Soprano Saxophone I got slightly used for around $107. It only needed a couple small adjustments. I do my own tech repairs, I don't have any techs nearby. The quality control of these Chinese horns might not be like when you buy a Yanagisawa, but they really work just fine, and they don't feel cheap to me at all. And in my opinion, the naysayers here complaining about faulty this and that after a few months, it's just not my experience at all. And when you're paying what David paid for his, it just makes perfect sense to me. I think the soprano saxophone in this video sounds great through the entire register. I had a Selmer Super Action 2 tenor once and it was hard to play, sound not flowing easily from top to bottom. Also came new with a lot of leaks. So you're never guaranteed anything regardless of price point. ua-cam.com/video/ykd1aHLYaao/v-deo.htmlsi=qzkRnG0El4cz2EfX
sounds good now, but pads and keys will ware out and get out of alignment, making it impossible to play after about 3-6 months. Furthermore, Sax repairshop techs won't touch any sax under $1500 due to all the cheap parts. That has been my experience.
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost the login password. I love any tricks you can offer me
@Roland Carlos I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I am really shocked!!! I got a cheap horn on Amazon and it never sounded very good. I didn't have a better mouthpiece on it so I wonder if that is the difference. The construction honestly wasn't great when I got it.
I want to buy i have trumpet, clarinet, grand piano, flute, Congo, drums, kahoon and vilon but I really want this bro I am a 14 year kid pls send the link 😭
This is waste of time and money.. The build of this horn is cheap. You’ll never get it to play in tune. I tried. I put several mouthpieces and ligatures on it and changed out the neck.. Still could not get it to play in tune.. Don’t do it!
That sounds pretty damned good for $250! Thanks for the video.
thanks Tone!!

Sounds fine in the middle til you start pushing the upper and lower registers. Also, sounded leaky toward the end…
I’m a work in progress 🎷
Thanks for the review. I've been eyeing this. I already have their alto.
so far no problems !!

As of today 8.3.23 horn is great ; I gig 2-3 per week …….no problems whatsoever
Hey Dave sounds cool 😎👍

@Roland Carlos It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account !
checked your playing with tonal energy tuning app, shocking how in tune this was. how much of that was skill and mouthpiece I wonder?
Hey RG ...I play with some really great musicians that DEMAND pitch be dead on ...😉
how much of that was skill and mouthpiece?
about 5% mouthpiece
Excellent
thanks SVS !
I want one of this
5:13 he whips his horn out. 😂
Hi, the keys are plastic or metal?
😷😎👍👍👍

Hey Chris ... mouthpiece can make a world of difference !..im using an old (1990"s) otto link 5* & 3.5 plasticover
Hello! I have recently started with alto sax and was wondering if I could alternate it with the soprano, learn both at the same time
i would try to stick to just the alto for now soprano is known to be a little more challenging with intonation
@@mosescolin9393 thanks!
Suprano Sax.. The Ammored Clarinet. 😂
what mouthpiece were you playing ?
Otto link 5*
Hello Dave, can you share the link please?
Sorry Isabelle ... I’ll get some help on that
The Groov Jacksonville Florida
I want to buy i have trumpet, clarinet, grand piano, flute, Congo, drums, kahoon and vilon but I really want this bro I am a 14 year kid pls send the link 😭
Just search “Soprano Sax” or “Soprano Saxophone” on either eBay or Amazon.
Hello, what model is?
Lazzaro 300-2c
I hear some Getz!
Everybody needs a little Getz!
This is waste of time and money.. The build of this horn is cheap. You’ll never get it to play in tune. I tried. I put several mouthpieces and ligatures on it and changed out the neck.. Still could not get it to play in tune.. Don’t do it!
Has NOT been my experience; playing in tune comes from my #1brain/ears / internal “pitch” #2 mouthpiece #3 horn #4 play ALOT !!
