Wow...great sound!.....I changed from a straight soprano and love the curved soprano much more, because you can hear yourself better and have much better control over the sound...
Bought my SC991 from Getasax last year, absolute game changer in terms of amplification and comfort in pit orchestras where straight sopranos are near impossible to deal with
Great video! I borrowed a Yamaha YSS-475II straight one piece sop from a friend and didn’t expect to fall in love with it! I never thought I’d like the sound coming out from a straight sop but given the kind of music I’m inclined to play, I started to appreciate the tonal clarity that straight sops produce as compared to their curved neck and curved counterparts. Although there most certainly are differences between these soprano saxes, one can most certainly get a darker/warmer or brighter sound whatsoever by using a respective mouthpiece and reed setup. That would influence the tone in a more significant way than just merely the sax itself. Having said that, my right wrist and thumb hurt a whole lot when I first played on a straight sop. I guess it’s something I slowly learned to accept and be more mindful of my posture when playing for long periods.
Great information! I owned a straight Yani when I first started soprano, and yes, your hands/thumbs can get tired! Changed over to a curved SC901 (old version of the modern SC992) and it was much more fun to play due to comfort, recording, and you can hear it better when playing!
Great stuff! My ears might be playing tricks on me, but I think you sounded best with the straight soprano, and that the curved sounded the brightest...! I personally prefer the 82zr for myself, as that is the horn I own, but think you sounded better on the two others in this test.
I liked the straight neck the best! Gotta say the curved was pretty good. To be fair I play a one piece straight neck soprano. You are right about neckstrap.

You get a lovely sound from each of them.

My ears like the Yamaha but my eyes like the curved yani. Side note- pretty please release a sop gs mouthpiece

Great info Tyler!
Nice sound! Is there a GetASax soprano mouthpiece coming soon to production?
No, it will be a while. Sorry!
The curved soprano shown at 1:01 is a SC-902, not SC-992, jeez. Note the bell keys on the left side, where the SC-992 are on the right.
Oops
What mouthpiece are you playing here? Lovely sound out of all the horns!
I feel like the only thing I learned here is Yanagisawa sounds better than Yamaha🤣🤣
