We're joined by top UK Sax Pro Simon Bates to check out the ever popular Yamaha YSS-475II Soprano Saxophone.
Available via: www.dawkes.co.uk/yamaha-yss-4...
The YSS-475II Soprano Sax delivers professional qualities at an intermediate price. Much of its design is based upon the more expensive Pro and Custom saxes, and it shares many of the same features. The 475 offers outstanding response, tone, and intonation, as well as a comfortable playability.
Many saxophonists moving from alto or tenor saxophone can sometimes find the soprano sax harder to play. The 4C mouthpiece supplied with the YSS-475II makes the instrument very free blowing whilst the lightweight body makes it easy to hold. The body is designed to give maximum response and good intonation whilst giving the player optimum tone quality.

Simon is AMAZING! I WISH I could have a teacher who was half as good as he is!

This guy is a fantastic musician and the both of them are very intelligent. As far as the horn goes, I love the fact that it is ONE PIECE. Yamaha action and tuning is very good as well.

Some youngsters chose this as their first instrument. However it is harder than the alto, particularly the high notes.

I am a flute player, but I want to try the sax. I am still unsure of whether I should play the alto or the Soprano, though I am leaning towards the soprano. Would it be very difficult to start with that as opposed to the alto?

No doubt people will have their own opinions on this, but in our experience Sop can be a little harder to get started on. It may be the smaller mouthpiece/reed set-up which in our opinion is slightly less forgiving than the Alto. However, the key thing is to listen to lots of both and choose the one YOU want to play. The rest will come with practice :)

Go tenor if you can or alto, whichever you prefer. Once you get finger speed, embouchure and tone down then the soprano is much easier. It's like learning to drive a Toyota before you get a Ferrari.

@@grumblekin In my experience, the Alto is the easiest to get started with, as it is the most forgiving. Tenor can be more difficult sound and intonation wise. Soprano is hard because of it's range (in higher registers, intonation is harder as small differences will sound quite bad) and getting a full sound on the soprano is hard. But in the end it all comes with practice, so the key is to take the sax you are motivated to learn.

As a kid who started on oboe and pursued a pro career on oboe, don’t worry about what’s easy or hard. Violin is freaking hard compared to saxophone and millions of children start on violin. Play which one you like the best!!
