@@MichaelAusserbauer Thanks for your reply Michael. Would I be right in thinking that the Runyon your using is Red ? I've never seen that before. What opening is it Michael please ?

This tune is so haunting and played so beautiful

AMAZING!

This is sooooo beautiful!!! You play from the heart! I am honored to hear you! Absolutely the best!! Thank you!!

Just one word , BRILLIANT !!

So much passion. Love it !

Smooth melody... love it. This is real music.

Simply wonderful

hey, thanks for the quick response... will be placing an order for a Runyon custom very soon. Have subscribed to your channel and look forward to listening to some more of your playing.

Nice Interpretation, nice sound Sax Soprano Regards Manu

Jesus Christ, this is beautiful.

Amazing like ever

Lovely playing, great tune! It surely sounds great on tenor, but also works very well on this small but very special horn...

Wow, this is beautiful! I'd never heard of this kind of sax. I played alto.

Love it! I've never been much of a soprano fan but ...

well,nice sound to hear...This is a very quality saxophone manufacture i can see as the price and quality are reasonable.

BELLISSIMO ...... LO VOGLIO

@Happyhonker2 Having started with soprano some decades ago this comes to me as a breath of fresh air. Don't know whether it is because it plays in C or what else. Its maybe the most "natural" soprano.

Hi, I like the Runyon a lot. And it gives a beautiful sound - as all Runyon Customs can do. Decided to put it on my Bb straight sop. Got one for almost all my horns. You definitely can't go wrong with a Runyon Custom. The tune is indeed a standard but very seldomly played.

Hi, this horn acts like nearly any modern soprano. Intonation isn't really an issue if you got accustomed to it. Pitched higher than the Bb soprano it requires quite a firm embouchure - and of course a decent mouthpiece :-)

I'd like to research this song & see if it'd be appropriate for my wedding.

Hi, it's not my website as I'm not selling these horns. I just love to play them. Get in touch with Steve Wedgwood who sellst the C-saxophones. I'm pretty sure he will tell you all you want to know ;-)

@manureco Thanks. A fine horn definitely.

Why is there only 27 likes!?there needs to be at least like 1,000

+Trollbro02 I put my vote in. Amazing how the sound can change from one musician to another, when Sara was playing the instrument (hallelujah) it sounded completely different.

@mattissurf: I use both Fibracell and Legere on alto, tenor and bari. These are good reeds. Hard to tell which of both is better. I settled on Fibracell for tenor and alto mostly because of economical reasons.

Hi, you can play the Custom without the spoiler. Makes it much smoother. The low notes are not really a problem and 2 1/2 or so gives excellent control. The Custom is a very docile mouthpiece. Yes, I do play subtone here - but because it's a ballad and I like that breathy sound. The mouthpiece speaks clearly a full throttle as well. Had no problems. But you know: We are all hunting for the perfect mouthpiece, don't we ;-)

... nice. Keep thinking one day I'll have to try a soprano. Been playing tenor for about a year now, ready for an upgrade from my Yamaha 4C mouthpiece. Planning on mail ordering a Runyon custom soon, you sound like you're a bit out on the fence with the Runyon ? Perhaps just for the soprano. ... anyway,not heard this piece before, very lovely, must be a well known standard.

@0bluemike I'm a beginner, but I have a good experience with my tenor and Legere Signature #2 and Otto Link NY 7*. Rounder sound than the Fibracell. The Legere is to me pretty close to Vandoren Java Green #2.

@mattissurf Well - more or less a win on points :-) I'll keep on trying. Normally I like the plasticovers a lot because they are not so sensitive. Always a matter of reed/mouthpiece combination.

listen to it with rainymood

Nice..

@MusicalSawMen Hi, there are curved sopranos although the vast majority is of the straight kind. I even got a curved sopranino which I absolutely don't play in public :-)

Beautiful. Where could i get the score for it?

Grandioso, o som do Soprano ficou muito bonito, gostaria de ter a partitura dessa música, pois não encontrei em nenhum lugar. Poderia me ajudar nessa partitura? Muito Obrigado.

Splendid interpretation. I adore the sound, phrased! This title is super and I do not manage to find the partition! Or then I to get it? Large a Gaby mercy

Hi, it sounds good on C-Mel as well and is no problem to play. The chords are not much of a challenge. In fact there are only two chords repeated, like in a modal tune and another one before the bridge. Send me a private message and I'm sure we can fix that.

I am afflicted, but I do not know what is a “PM” A soon and thank you for your answers. Gaby

Hí´, I think You fallen in love with this instrument, can hear also it has a Great sound for this kind of music!

Very nice, sir. How is the intonation on the c-sop? I have a Martin c-sop from 1923. Intonation decent but still needs work and I can't play bis Bb.

Hi Michael can I ask you , is a Runyon custom 7 good ? I want to play jazz and Smooth jazz . I got a Keilwerth sx90 soprano Thanks

Hi, the Runyon Custom MPCs are superb. They come with a spoiler which you can insert and which gives you a brighter sound. But even without they are very fine mouthpieces: Easy to control, well made and very responsive. I'm not sure if they are still available. If so, give them a try.

@@MichaelAusserbauer thanks so much for your reply. This one dont have a spoiler and it's like black Rubber. But I just seen another one like the one you have. Red but as yet dont know if it has a spoiler either. Thank you Michael kind of you to reply.

Hi, normally there are a lot of horns available. Ever contacted Steve Wedgewood directly?

If it plays in C, yet was originally done with a Bb Tenor, would it fit a C melody sax? Yes to another comment here, we are having trouble finding the score. The solo is available while the chords are not.

I've been curious about Aquila Sax for a while but most (if not all) of the C-melody horns (both tenor and soprano) seem to always be out of stock.

Excuse me, a friend of mine is selling this mouthpiece, I have played soprano for at least 5 years, but never tried a mouthpiece this bright, I wonder if it doesn't become impossible to control the low E zone with this ? to avoid warble, 2 1/2 + guarantees good control ? you play low notes but it sounds like you're fixing them with a subtone. Thanks.

can i buy sopran sax by aquilasax , is intrsting...do You want sell me? tank you

Hi do you no were i can get backing music for this piece

Hi, depends on how much money you would like to spend.

Who won, you or the mouthpiece? I think you. But the Plasticover lost. My experience with Plasticover (two reeds) is that the sound gets very sharp or piercing.

Why the Soprano Sax are not curved like the other, I know that they dont need to, but just for the look of it they shoud curve it in J shape so it look like a sax.

Is this mouthpiece designed for the C soprano, or is it the same as a Bb soprano mouthpiece? Does it use the same reeds as a Bb soprano?

@MichaelAusserbauer

Жыл бұрын

Hi, the mouthpiece is an ordinary Bb mouthpiece. Therefore I'm using the standard Bb reeds. The C-Soprano is closer to the Bb version than to the Sopranino. The Bb mpcs work quite well. Most of them. The smaller the chamber the better they work.

@@MichaelAusserbauer Yes, it seems that they are out of business. The only "new" C Soprano saxophones I know are those of IWC (International Woodwind, Hollywood, California, USA), designed by Benedikt Eppelsheim (Germany) and Schiller (American distributor of Chinese instruments). The first one may cost about §3500,-, the latter §269. Therefore I am in big trouble because I cannot afford the expensive one and I wonder if the cheap one is playable at all. I would order the Schiller and import it to Germany, but would you buy an instrument unseen?

@MichaelAusserbauer

@@medialex78 The Schiller is a children C-Soprano if this is what I've seen from their website. It misses a lot of keys essential to normal playing. I wouldn't really recommend it other than for a child (and even that's debatable). Look for a vintage C-Sop on ebay USA. There are always some popping up from time to time. The old ones weren't so bad but most likely need to be overhauled.

@@MichaelAusserbauer Thank you so much for that quick advice. We could also have corresponded in German but I wanted to share this with more people here... More thean 15 years ago I ordered a vintage Wurlitzer C-Sop in silver with inner golden bell on eBay that was supposedly overhauled. But when I asked a woodwind technician to have a look at it he found out that many pads would have to be replaced. Therefore I returned it and thought about to acquire an Aquilasax instead. Unfortunately it never happened, but maybe I find something vintage that I like. I will definitely keep you informed!
