I CANT FIND A LOCAL DEALER WHO STOCKS AND SELLS YOUR PRODUCTS?

We will discuss with the outlet, the possibility of them being of direct assistance to you in the future.

I DO NOT SEE PRICES ON YOUR WEB SITE

CAN I GET A MORE CURVED NECK FOR MY CURVED SOPRANO?
I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE WITH THEM.

No, the more curved neck is not produced any more. Articles found on websites indicating to the contrary are wrong. The current configuration of the production neck on the SC models has been developed to improve the attributes of the curved soprano to an extent that this saxophone is unquestionably the greatest curved soprano in the world today.
