Description
The soprano's sweet voice, in a colour nobody forgets.
Deep magenta lacquer, gold keys and a floral engraving that wraps around the bell. This curved Bb soprano sits in your hands like a small alto, and arrives with everything you need to start, in a black hard case.
Why you'll love it
- Curved and comfortable. The bell turns up like an alto's, so it's easier to hold than a straight soprano.
- A finish that turns heads. Magenta lacquer over a brass body, gold lacquered keys and pearl-style key touches.
- Floral engraving. On the bell and the bow, as pictured.
- A natural second voice. In Bb, the same key as the tenor: an easy addition if you already play.
- Safe in a hard case. A black hard case with gold-tone clasps, as pictured.
Good to know
- Reeds aren't shown in the box, so pick up a few soprano reeds with your first order. New to the saxophone? Softer reeds (strength 1.5 or 2) make your first notes much easier than the harder reeds many kits come with.
- Before you play, check under the keys for any small cork or foam wedges. They protect the pads in transit and must come out, or some notes won't sound.

Is it right for a beginner?
Yes, if you are starting or starting again. Everything that comes with it is listed on this page, so there is nothing to hunt down before your first session. Start on a soft reed (strength 1.5 or 2), and our free guide, Your first 10 minutes, takes you from opening the case to your first note.
Alto and tenor players who'd like a second voice, grown-ups drawn to the soprano's sound, and anyone looking for a gift that gets noticed. If you've never played before, the alto is usually the easier place to start: the soprano rewards a little patience.

Questions before you buy
Do I need anything else to play?
Everything that comes with it is listed on this page, item by item. If reeds aren't in the list, add a few soft ones (strength 1.5 or 2) to your order.
Can I send it back?
Yes. You have 30 days from delivery to change your mind and return it for a full refund. Our returns policy explains how.
What does the warranty cover?
3 years from delivery against faults in materials and workmanship. If something goes wrong with normal use, we repair it, replace it or refund you. Normal wear (reeds, pads and corks) and accidental damage are not covered.
When will it arrive?
Delivery to the UK is free, and your estimated delivery date is shown just above the Add to basket button.
Which reed should I start with?
A soft one: strength 1.5 or 2. Hard reeds are the main reason beginners think they can't play.
Will the neighbours hear me?
An acoustic saxophone is loud, so practise at sensible hours. For late evenings, our electric saxophones play silently through headphones.
