"This is everything that the 901 is and more. It has a choice of necks, either curved or straight, which offers the player a choice of playing positions, to suit individual playing styles. My own personal preference is for the curved neck. This horn really opened up my sound and I was able to play expressively with a wider range of controlled dynamics. The upper register sang out with no harshness, and the tuning was spot on. The response of the 981 was slightly quicker than the 901. The overall feel was one of a very classy saxophone, reflecting well in the tone, a lot smoother and with greater projection. It's hard to believe that the 901 can be improved upon in such a way, but the S981 is truly a great soprano."
