Who's the cute drummer?

[SaxGeniusMcElhaney]

and actually no they aren't that much more expensive than a regular soprano, and honestly a straight soprano sounds way better, it's just the fact that a curved soprano is way easier to keep in tune.

[SaxGeniusMcElhaney]

@saxomaphone2011 yeah, it's actually a soprano they make a straight soprano and curved, as you see it's not a straight. but yes it is a soprano

WOW! This is a find..Mark you Rock!

[saxomaphone2011]

i believe i heard of it, but they are supposedly one of the best, but much more priceyer

do you know the sound from the straight soprano of branford marsalis? i think he has a really warm and smooth sound.

[saxomaphone2011]

i agree, the sound is much warmer, darker, and smooth then a straight soprano.

As Hardbat said, it's a curved soprano. Personally I think they get a much better tone than the straight soprano (which to me is a flawed instrument).
