Curved Sopranos

Hello, I'm looking to add a new curved soprano to my collection of horns. Budget is tight much as I'd love a Yani or even a P. Maurat. I've been recomended Kessler and also Thomann custom 2, which fit the purse. anyone know about these horns

    I think Kessler is a good online retailer because of their pre-sale setup and 3 day trial/return period.  Check their website for details.  Their products generally seem to offer good value.  Do you already play soprano?

      thanks for the tip although the 3 day thing wouldn't come into it really as I am in The U.K.I have family in the states who would ship it for me, as I don't think Kessler do. I do play soprano, I have a straight B.W. with improved action. I play tenor too, YTS 62 mk1. I am impressed by the company set up, I'm with you there. Dave Kessler has that love for saxophone it seems.

          I have tried one out and wasn't overly impressed. Inotation wasn't easy to control but that could have been me over the short span of time.Do you have expierince with the BW curvie?

          No, I was just curious.  Since you have experience with BW it seemed evident that there was a conscious decision on your part.  BW is a controversial brand.
