Subj: Re: [kl] C-straight soprano sax

Grant, a fellow bass fanatic:
There is a noticeable difference in
timbre on my Bb soprano sax depending on whether I use the straight neck
or the slightly curved neck.

This difference is even more apparant in the Fully curved sopranos - they
sound pretty much like an alto, just higher. To be honest, I'll take a
fully curved soprano over a straight or slightly curved one any day!
