I saw that video. A bit on the pricey side for me, and since I have 4 sopranos now…. I actually did try out a soprano last week, a like new Mark VI that a now-deceased player’s wife is selling. She knew what to charge, but the horn was just so-so. It was in beautiful condition, the only missing lacquer was on the thumb rest and the palm key touches. Original pads. But it was pretty obvious why it didn’t get a lot of play time…

Might be blasphemy but I never cared for the VI soprano.

If I ever get a "serious" soprano again it'll be a curvy.

I've had a bunch of them. Still have a vintage King Saxello and an Eastern Music curvy. I just don't enjoy playing soprano that much.

When I did play a fair amount of it - I had the good fortune of having in my opinion the best soprano ever made - bent neck silver plated YSS 62RS.

It is a100th birthday, so praise can be expected. The instrument holds up against the yana and has it own sound. My ears register a small leak in the last 5 pads. But maybe its just my imagination.
