Re: Curved Sopranos vs. Straight Sopranos
The import curved sopranos typically are not all that great, at least compared to some of the straight models now available.
However, if you try and Yani Curved next to a Yani straight, the only real difference is the tone that you the player hear. However, to the public, the sound is virtually the same.
This is due to the fact that with a curved, you have more of the horn physically closer to your ears.
Now, I recently had a Yanagisawa S901, S902, S991 (all straight) and Yanagisawa SC991 & SC992 (curved) in my store for a few pros to play.
Both players noticed that when you really went to play as loud and powerful as they could on them, all of the straight models went further then the curved did.
Maybe this is the reason why the other major manufacturers only do straight. Maybe not.
