Does a soprano sax made of wood exist? I'd like to play a saxophone to be heard like clarinet. Any chances, please?

Well, there is an instrument of Hungarian origin called a Tarogato that is a conical bore horn like a saxophone that is made out of wood like a clarinet.
There are sound files out there on the internet if you can find them. The sound is basically like a very dark soprano saxophone timbre. It doesn't really sound much like a clarinet since it is the cylindrical bore, not the wooden material, that primarily gives the clarinet its distinctive sound.

If all else fails learn to play Bb soprano clarinet - half the fingerings are the same, and the rest are pretty logical.
