At last! The first easily affordable Eb sopranino sax and its not bad!
Accurate intonation is always a problem on sopranino but this Earlham is
surprisingly good. Free blowing, good tone and heaps of fun!

Subject: RE: Earlham Sopranino sax
I have actually owned a Yanagisawa sopranino and this one plays at least as well
as that. I have just been on a sax workshop with a few members of a well known
Sax Quartet; one of whom played my Earlham Sopranino and said it plays better in
tune that his Yanagisawa or a Selmer, covers the full range and feels exactly
like his Yani. The only difference is a very slightly rougher tone, but then we
were using the supplied mouthpiece. Whilst all sopraninos are a challenge to
play in tune, that isn't a fault of the particular instrument but of the physics
of it. I think you can confidently recommend them to any player, especially when
you think it isn't going to get used all the time. I'll try a better mouthpiece
on it and let you know how it sounds, but I won't be in any hurry as it works
well as it is. Best wishes, Steve
