Feels tight, plays well as is and is a terrific inexpensive soprano sax. Here's a BRAND NEW Antigua Winds straight soprano saxophone in black nickel. These horns came through Dave Kessler’s shop which might explain why they were set up so well. I used to wonder about the build quality and durability compared to the Yanagisawas but after owning them for many years and never running into a problem. more on a budget this horn is great and you can save the extra $$$! Why am I selling a horn I rave about? Because I also have the Antigua 590 soprano with the high G and decided I don’t need both horns. If you’re looking for a great soprano on a budget. It is a very striking look and should look this good for a very long time.
It’s much harder than lacquer and resists scratching and flaking. All the way up to the high F# The Black Nickel finish is amazing.
I even sold my purple logo 62 after picking this up because I liked the Antigua more! I would describe the tone as warm and light. They are at least 95% as good as the Yanagisawas for 1/3 the price! This was my main soprano for many years for both jazz work and classical quartets. Antigua decided to reverse engineer the Yanagisawa 9xx series of sopranos and did an amazing job! You hear about these sopranos in the forums all the time and what they say is true.
