Nice, a piece of history. Is it low pitched?

Yes, it's low pitch

That sop is really sweet and apparently a player too, as pads look fairly new. Love the engraving. Don't see those often and in such pristene condition, thanks for sharing.

It's probable the first c soprano in history, Adolphe sax original father 1853

I see practical possibilities for it. If a community band is lacking an oboe, it would be a shoe-in. The timbre of the soprano is similar to an oboe. Is it an oboe? No, but it is unique enough that except for the historic purist, would add colour to a band's performance.

You can play for jazz or Mother, and it pays in good tune,

C sopranos are fairly common. At least Conn, Buescher, and Holton made them, and probably some others as well. So you don't have to go to the one of a kind A. Sax oddball with its double octave keys and rudimentary keywork.

That is true

But irrelevant

C soprano are fairly common, that i know, but that isn't common, and this Horn is very special, it's probable the first c soprano of the history,

It's an Adolphe sax Horn made by the creator and father of saxophone,

OK it's rudimentary but it's very cool and very honorific to play on that, it's very different, and you can see the second models on english museum,

They're only two was made (probably) and my mine is first one.

Yep c soprano is common, but that is c soprano by Adolphe sax and that is seriously very not common,

C melody are common too, but c melody Selmer paris are very rare, c melody by Adolphe sax is very very rare too,

Saxophone Alto or tenor or baritone or soprano are not rare but Adolphe sax father Horn it's very rare

This Horn, and pp is for sharing probable one origins of c soprano and probable the first models with removable neck of the history,

I was responding to the person who said "now you can play oboe parts". Yes, but you don't have to use a rare A. Sax instrument to do that, you can go out TODAY and buy a Buescher Holton or Conn in playing condition.

The pictured horn is cool and interesting, no doubt.

Yep but after bought one Adolphe sax, it would be cool for collector's item or Just to play an history instrument, it's cool and fun too

Question was more or less hypothetical

In reality especially for a smaller community band, one would be better off hand transcribing key oboe parts to Bb soprano sax and have one of the saxists double.

In a larger city, a community band would more than likely have an oboe player to start with, so there is no need for a C soprano to fill in for the oboe.

However, hearing a soprano playing the oboe part is unique enough in itself that it adds a certain amount of beauty in the play, due to its unique sound.

I just consider it as one of the tools for the trade, basically "hip pocket info" to enhance the music mission.

However back to the Adolph C soprano, even though the keys on it being earlier may add a bit of quirkiness in learning to play it proficiently, being the mother of saxes, it still is a thing of beauty, a conversation piece, and if demonstrated on a play with backing, would IMO definitely catch people's attention.

I don't understand because it's one c soprano, they're not need to translate

It was an issue of cost versus function. Unless there was continual demand for a C sax, (like a soprano saxist sitting in an oboe-ist's chair often), in less demanding usage it would be more expedient to rewrite the part for a Bb sax.

I have all the saxes (SATB) already, there is room for a C sax, but mitigating factors have been cost.

How else do you explain to the SWMBO (she who must be obeyed), "Look what followed me home!"? 😉
