Soprano tone
I've recently bought a soprano to expand my horizons from that of alto alone. However, I'm beginning to realize that I have no idea what kind of sound I should be working torwards on this instrument. I have no prior experiance with a soprano so my tone is not developed in a certain direction, but on my alto I've aquired a deep and resonent tone.
Our school only has one full time tener player, and he plays his soprano sometimes at practice. His horn is not good quality (the brand of his instrument is XL...???). When he gets into anything below an on-the-staff A he begins to sound like a sixth grade oboe player that breaths with an iron lung. Obviously I can't listen to this guy and hope to increase my abilities on the instrument.
Since I've no apprieciation for Kenny G's tone and music and don't know any other artists that play a lot of soprano, what should a developed sound be like? Thanks.
