Thanks for the video. I'm a C Melody 1923 Martins + 2023 Thomman player. If there exist a new Selmer C soprano, I'm pretty sure I'll buy one. And sure I will not be alone. Time has changed. Pianists like me who play saxophone for fun is not rare in 2024. So make a market study and go create a new one 😂. I'm interested ❤ Regards
Most likely because saxophones never made it big in the orchestra. That's the main place where there'd be any real need to have instruments that can deal with sharp keys more comfortably. Military bands, on the other hand, were what the saxophone was originally designed for (they were intended to replace oboes and bassoons, as the double reeds were terrible for marching with), and bands mostly played in flat keys due to the Clarinets being in Bb, Eb, and F
Same, please make a new one🙌🏻🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Were the ones built in the '50s also Model 22s?
Hi Doug Did I ever send you pictures of my silver Selmer C sop serial 77316?
Thanks! I wonder why C saxophones did not compete over Eb and Bb?

I have a C soprano but it’s an ORSI Milano. I don’t know if that would be relevant
Amazing! Such a small production of the C soprano…
I have one but not Selmer
