It has taken me a long time to play the soprano in a pleasing manner. My wife, a long time clarinetist, took to it much faster. I'm still struggling with intonation issues but that's more about me than the instrument.
The choice of mouthpiece will determine the sound more than anything else. A curvie or straight soprano sax will sound like you in the end. So work to find that 'just right' mouthpiece and you will be halfway there. The rest is about practice, long tones, and more practice.
