temby saxello in the $3000 range for a soprano saxophone I tried 12 and ended up with a choice of 1:yamaha 475 2:temby saxello these were the only two who played all the notes easily. I chose the temby for these reasons 1:I dont have to hold it up for 3 hours while I perform 2:It looks so nice 3:the feedback to the player is much better. better control and expression 4:6 year warranty 5:good resale I was performing on his 4 days after purchase and it got me many compliments on how good it sounds. I already play a yamaha yts 62, tenor saxophone
