thank you yes, it's an attempt at well you needn't . probably the wrong key. I learned it on alto and didn't change the fingering. as you can see , people have varied opinions on the sound of the sax. some say it sounds like duck sex others like it. it's a joy to play that's all I care about.
yes, I like it a lot. it's a joy to play. the only thing wrong with it was the placement of the ring for the neckstrap. i had another one added at the proper balance point. then it was great. I made a neckstrap with no adjustment for it that fits me perfectly. i never need to adjust it and it stays tied to the sax all the time.
i live in india n jupiter n pearl river r most commonly available here. i cldnt find any reviews for pearl river though. n they cost almost double the price here so i dnt wanna buy one n regret! i wish some one wld post a video on a pearl river!!!!!!!
you are very talented. I am getting a helmke soprano in about a week... I played it at the our local music store, the only thing I need to do is fit the keys a tad better which my dad knows how to so, he fixed instrumets ago...
hey thanks, I'm not familiar with helmke. did you like it? that's what matters. some people make fun of this horn because it's cheap but I like it a lot. keep honkin
yah, I think people think my playing is all jerky and wierd but that's just the song. my interpretation anyway. I screw it up a little but it' fun to play
That's cool! I got the $50 Chinese soprano on eBay too, and I think it's pretty great! Funny - the horn was $50, and the shipping was $250! It plays fine and lays well under the fingers. I double on alto, and it's important that the soprano doesn't feel too dissimilar to the other horn. The only really crappy thing is the silly blue lacquer that flakes off on my hand!
it's funny you say that, because I like the sound of it. it sounds "low" when people hear it in real life they say that. but I get a lot of comments like "you suck" or "that sax sucks" maybe cuz it's youtube. I disagree, I think it's a great little horn. I have considered imporing more but they need little fixes like replacement of the neckstrap ring. it wasn't in a good spot. it would be a pain to change them all.
it's an attempt at "well you needn't" by thelonius monk. a lot of people think it sounds jerky and sucks but the song is supposed to be a little jerky like that even if my playing sucks.
I have a Chines flugelhorn, Roy Benson. price 800 US Dollars. Typical scool instrument, its OK for me. I like that saxophone, You can have it on every trip and hotel rooms to play a song on!
thanks, i feel it was a little stumbly. i should really focus on playing within my ability and developing a sweet tone becasue I just don't have the dexterity for bebop.
i saw a street musician last week playing simple christmas songs with a tone so sweet it would make you cry. there's no shame in that.
lol! you're killing me. it's probably my playing. I think the horn would sound great played well. that middle d does sound pretty far off though. maybe I need to adjust the mousepiece
THose are soprano saxes :) i saw them in the musci store near me lol i never knew ppl actually brought them O.o but the ones in the music store are like 300-1,000 heh xD
This is a TRUE soprano; a curved soprano. Japan Yanigisawa makes excellent curved soprano; I have got one. Taiwan Unison also makes curved soprano, and many Chinese manufacturers make curved soprano.
Do you have their email or website?. It seems to be a well sounded sax. I'm intrested.

where exactly can i get any kind of curved sop for 50 bucks? i certainly would pay 50 bucks for what you're playing.
if you use your ear enough and force lip everything down/up where you can i'm sure it could be used to sound pretty okay.
