Yes, it's not too much different, but soprano saxes normally aren't used consistently in concert/jazz literature, so make sure wherever you want to play wants a soprano player!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Its mainly embochure changes and repositioning your fingers,

High notes might be hard for a little while

I started on alto, moved to tenor, moved to bari, and now play bari and occasionaly alto and its not too badWww@QuestionHome@Com

dont!. unless you own one, or your school has one, no one rents them!. they are cool, but good luck finding some music for them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

many sax players play 3 or 4 different sax!. Should be little adjustment!.
Good LuckWww@QuestionHome@Com
