Chuck,

I learned the altissimo range just fine without an F# key. I play three octaves just fine.

The main problem you will find though is the ergonomics of older saxes is a challenge. Dave S. loves em and has shown me some of his rebuilds but I just can't get that jazzed about old sax fingering setups. The left little finger keys on your sop sax look like a hard way to go.

There is good reason why so many current saxes are modeled after Selmer saxes.
