Soprano Saxophone Intonation

Hi. I finally found ONE soprano sax in the local stores, and tried it out. It was a Keilworth, selling for about $800, somewhat used, and I had to point out that the low bflat key didn't even close. However, that's beside the point. Playing the c (in the middle of the staff) was horribly out of tune with the d just above. I had to lip the d way down and the c up to make them in tune relative to one another. Is this a common problem in Sopranos, or was it just that particular horn? Thanks!
