Here are my current setups from oldest (horn) to youngest: Still using the Rico Royal 2.5 reeds, for now.Īs of Summer 2008, changed reeds to RJS 3S with the Barone 7* HR mpc and the Phil Barone straight soprano. Update: as of December 2007, I am now playing my new Phil Barone straight soprano using its curved neck, with a Barone 7* HR mouthpiece. I have come to believe that I made a bad decision back in 1994, and should have forked out more money for a better horn. The horn is functional for me now, but I have the expected amount of intonation problems, and I believe the horn is at least an equal contributor to these (along with my lack of real soprano chops). I bought this less expensive soprano (as opposed to a Yamaha, for example) since I had never played a soprano before and was not sure if I would be able to make it functional. I am mainly an alto player, so this was an impulse purchase in 1994. The mouthpiece is a BARI with the number "64" written on it. It says "Made in Germany", and under the "B & S" near the bell is written "MARKNEUKIRCHEN-KLINGENTHAL". Even after getting the work done, you're going to be into a fully working horn for under what they typically sell for used (when they pop up).B & S straight soprano (I am not sure what model). This horn currently sells new for around 1200.00-1250.00. We didn't polish it or do anything at all, so it will clean up a lot nicer than this. Pictures include all sides so you can at least get a ballpark idea. It comes as shown in a nice ProTec case with both necks. I don't know how much work, so we have this priced really cheap as-is, so you can have the work done and be into this horn for a bargain! Obviously, no returns based on all of this. As for pads, most seem ok, but you may need to replace some. Springs and adjustments will certainly need addressing, and there's a pearloid key insert that needs replacing.
Mainly routine stuff from what I can tell, but there may be a few things hidden that need addressing. Complete specs and factory stock photos are available on the Antigua site.
This is an Antigua Soprano Sax, model SS3286-LQ from what I can find. Let me start off by saying we normally don't handle woodwind instruments (occasional high end trumpets, but usually not woodwinds).
