Yanigasawa aren’t really in a position to complain about this as they gained their initial reputation on the back of making Selmer copies. Antigua Winds seem to be a relatively new entrant to the sax market, but they seem to be making a name for themselves on the back of creating copies of high quality Yanigasawa instruments. Once I add to that the hassle of getting it through UK customs, which their opaque pricing and procedures, I reluctantly decided that it was going to be too much hassle, and once I’d added shipping, VAT and customs tax, wasn’t going to be as cheap as it first appeared.My final choice therefore was the soprano. My only problem with this instrument is that currently there seems to be no one importing it into the UK, so I would have had to get it shipped from the states. This is an American sax made by a family company in Las Vegas and the reviews of both the sax and the company were universally glowing. Add to this the fact that I’m a good couple of hours from the store I’d want to go to and I preferred to take a punt on a single well researched instrument and never go back to look at what I might have missed!There are a quite a few different ‘student’ sopranos available and when researching them I didn’t really find any that no one had a good word for – however there were a couple which seemed to get consistently good comments from experienced players.The one I looked at long and hard, before ultimately rejecting it, was the. It takes a bit of time to get used to a new setup, so quickly moving between several saxes would require a long time – probably longer than my lip would hold out – and making objective decisions between more than 2 or 3 saxes would be extremely difficult. I did this before when choosing a new mouthpiece for my tenor – and ended up buying the wrong one. I toyed with the idea of spending a few hours in a shop playing with the various models to see which I liked best, but decided against this. Choosing the saxAfter I’d decided to go for a cheaper soprano I spent a while deciding which one to choose. I therefore ended up spending far less than I might have on my new sax, and having just had chance to have a really good play on it I thought I’d write up a quick review.
I was surprised to find a large number of people who seemed to be very happy with what might be considered ‘cheap’ sopranos (something less than £600 or so). IntroductionI’d put off adding a soprano sax to my existing tenor and alto for a number of years since I had heard from a few sources that whilst it was possible to get a good sound out of a cheap alto/tenor that you really needed to spend a decent amount of money to get a half decent soprano.Having got to the stage where I might have been prepared to spend a significant sum on a good soprano I started to do some research.
