Only on a sax forum.
I've given up ever being able to master the clarinet and my attempts at tenor were very unsatifying. I love my Bari but I have the urge for a soprano.
I'm very familiar with the sound of various straight players but the only bent one I've heard was played by a clown at the circus.
The sheer portability and only transposing a tone attract me as does the novelty and rarity of the bent soprano but, is the bent soprano a serious instrument or just a novelty?
I know this is the place to get a serious, educated, considered and experienced opinion.
Can't wait.
