Steve Goodson Curved Soprano

[daveysaxboy]

It came at last, my new Steve Goodson silverplate curved sop all the way from the USA.This curvy sop to me along with the rampone sop is the best looking sop there is,gleaming,load's of engraveing with the SG thumb rest which work's wonder's,no pearl's just thick metal touch's which feel great & a big sweet sound,the note's really pop out,tuning is spot on & ya can really push air into it & it keep's going.Really heavy sax,built like a tank.Happy with my new toy,what's next on my never ending list???? >.<

Hi David,

It certainly looks striking in all the photos I have seen on the internet - I love that silver finish and the metal instead of pearls looks great.

What mouthpiece are you playing with it and can you compare the sound with the Yanagisawa curvies (I've got an SC991) ?

Where did you buy it from in the US and did you end up paying import duty to get it into the UK ? Some saxes and things I have bought from outside the EU have been stopped for duty and others have got straight through !

Steve Goodson has got a strange reputation on SOTW, with some people very positive and others very critical. But the proof of the pudding is in the blowing !

Yea it's 1 sexy looking curvy sop,nice & heavy.Ergo's are the best i have felt on a sop,easy.I got mine from Noteworthy Musical ,a ebay shop that sell's the Goodson line,they wanted $900.00 or best offer & $79.00 shipping so i said $700.00 & $79.00 ,so they dropped $200 which total was ?397.00 but i got the custom's charge of ?90.00 on the way back,but still a great deal,a used 1 at the saxophonefactory is ?700.00 or a new 1 is ?1100.00,i have mailed the saxfactory on a few time's & never had a reply?Noteworthy in San Antonio were great & the sax is lush.Sound is very much like a Yani sop,ya can realy push air into it & them D's can realy pop,very sweet,lush sound,no shrill at all.well happy 😉

We'll I just had my offer of $715 accepted and it should be on its way to me shortly. Even with the customs duty to pay that seems a very good price.
