All I ever hear from other music TH-camrs is how the Soprano saxophone is too difficult and should be avoided until you have several years of playing another saxophone. Explaining some of the things you need to be aware of when beginning on the soprano saxophone makes it a lot less intimidating. Thank you for this excellent presentation.
I started on Soprano and i had no difficulties at all
I know right..I was just watching this guy telling 5 things to consider before attempting to buy a soprano and I'm like why!?!?!!! Why ?! And then I saw this video and your comment
very useful guide for someone like me who plays alto and wants to try soprano. Excellent general advice too about playing the saxophone as you say with one's ears. Thanks Alexandria
You are great your playing is perfect
Very informative. I have recently switched to soprano but most of the times I am feling as if my soprano is not tuned. Your video will surely help me......regards Aaliyah from India
Fantastic 🤩❤🤩 She for sure is a very good teacher as well 👏👍👏
Sounded great!
excellent. well presented .you have inspired me to use my soprano more ,as my alto is always my 1st choice .
Wonderful !!!! I am a beginer on sop sax !!!! 😍

Great suggestions, Pablo. We'll pick it up!
You are awesome.
So cool
Por favor por favor Alex yo quisiera mas clases de soprano !!!!!😊😊😊
Mmm pretty key pearls
Come to America!!
Hi. Nice timbre. Would you please tell me what's your mouthpiece/reed setup?
Here is some useful information regarding playing in tune: When you put the mouthpiece onto the sax then the note height is affected by how much you slide the mouthpiece in or out. This is common knowledge. But what many don't know is that it also affects the intonation.
So there is a certain mouthpiece position where the tuning is good, and there is a certain position where the intonation is good. On a well built instrument these two positions coincide.
Do lessons apply same to the soprano sax curved?
Hi Alex ... what happen wiht the lesson II .... ???
A video for vibrato and subtone please ... please !!!!
Added to the list, great suggestion :)
👍👍👍😊😊🥰🥰
Which mouthpiece are you using?
Play the Heart of the Night by Poco and it will elevate you to greatness
Thank you Alexandra. What mouthpiece are you using?
Pleasure! I’m using the Selmer Concept soprano mouthpiece
I think She is the Sound !!!! Not the mouthpiece !!!
You see !!! I have this mothpiece ... and I do not have this sound !!!!!
What song is that!!? Can you share the notes?
4:20 OMG. My middle G sound like extracly this.
How much supranu
Before you go out and buy a soprano saxophone just rember this. Becourse of the small mouthpiece your jaw will start to hurt after long playing and as well your arms due to the position even when you use a neck strap.
Intonation on some notes 😟
My personal opinion: Thomann's own brand is a cheap product from Asia. You hear it and you see it. No timbre, no substance, no soul. A cheap product from the Far East, made of cheap materials and also poorly processed. The horns leave the Thomann warehouse in the same condition as they were delivered from the factory in the Far East. Even the visit to the local woodwind instrument manufacturer for a review is a total economic loss. I don't know what Thomann paid the lady for that video. I would have been embarrassed, and I would have thankfully declined the assignment.

Dear Mr. Runtschke,
I’d like to thank you for leaving the comment and sharing your Humble opinion on this horn, or Thomann’s horn in general. This video is navigated and focused a bit more on what a Beginner player can start with if they have a certain budget for buying a brand new instrument. As you said it yourself, you get what you see and hear. So I’d clarify that as a very individual choice.
Btw, I’m not embarrassed at all, on the contrary, exploring different brands of horns, it’s quite a journey!
Take care! x
