![]() This is not to say that modern Yanagisawa, Selmer, and Yamaha sopranos are no good, but it is to say that they sadly have not yet incorporated into their design the bore characteristics that make these older sopranos sound so good. The modern soprano sound for some reason has not managed to recover the richness of 20’s to early 30’s soprano tone (probably because the modern sound is a development of the Mark VI soprano, whose design actually PRE-dates the advancement represented by the Buescher, Conn, and Martin sopranos of the late 20’s!). The late True Tone curvy’s are coveted for their unique combination of a big, warm, rich tone and accurate intonation. For overall playability and tone, this is one of the best curved sopranos ever made.
