🎷 Features
📐 Smaller size
Soprano = smaller than alto or tenor! NOT interchangeable! Must be "Soprano Sax."
📐 Intonation = critical
Soprano = most demanding for intonation! Small mouthpiece + short instrument = any imprecision is audible. Right reed = intonation control.
📐 Classical vs jazz
Classical = filed (Traditional, Optimum, Reserve). Jazz = unfiled (Java, V16, ZZ, Select Jazz). Choose for your style!
