The Elkhart curved soprano is a fantastic starting point for a young player who can't quite stretch to an alto, and a good first soprano for an alto, tenor or clarinet player wanting to get into soprano sax. It is the best affordable curved soprano we have found over many years.
The manufacturing is reliable and of a high quality, it is easy to play with a good tuning scale, and the keywork is strong enough to stand up to regular use. The curved body also puts the bell where the player can hear it. We have seen plenty of 'cheap and cheerful' curved sopranos that are badly out of tune, and the Elkhart is far above them.
This ex-rental instrument has belonged to Dawkes from new and has been serviced and maintained by our own workshop throughout its life, so we know exactly what it has had done and when. It is in good overall condition with little wear to the finish the keywork. Like all our pre-owned instruments it has been fully checked and set up in our workshop prior to sale, so you can buy with total confidence.
It is supplied with the original hard case and Yamaha 5C student mouthpiece.
