The C soprano saxophone is a member of the saxophone family, invented in 1846. It closely resembles the more common B♭ soprano saxophone but is pitched a whole step higher. Unlike most other saxophones, it is not a transposing instrument, a quality it shares with the C melody (also called C tenor) saxophone. The C soprano has a very similar range to the oboe.

  • Das C-Sopransaxophon ist ein Saxophon, das dem B-Sopransaxophon sehr ähnlich ist. Zwischen den beiden Saxophonen besteht der Unterschied, dass das C-Sopransaxophon, wie das C-Melody-Saxophon, kein transponierendes Instrument ist, da das C-Sopransaxophon einen Ganztonschritt höher als das B-Sopransaxophon gestimmt ist. Deshalb können damit direkt Noten für z. B. Querflöte oder Oboe gespielt werden, solange diese zum Tonumfang passen. Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde das C-Sopransaxophon als Alternativinstrument für Oboenstimmen verkauft. C-Sopransaxophone können leicht mit B-Sopransaxophonen verwechselt werden, da diese nur ca. 3 cm länger sind. C-Sopransaxophone wurden von den gleichen Firmen produziert wie C-Melody-Saxophone, also z. B. Conn. Der Produktionszeitraum fällt ebenfalls mit dem der C-Melody-Saxophonezusammen, also von 1919 bis 1929. Seit etwa 2008 werden von Aquilasax wieder C-Sopransaxophone hergestellt. (de)

Unlike most other saxophones, it is not a transposing instrument, a quality it shares with the C melody (also called C tenor) saxophone. The C soprano has a very similar range to the oboe. As with C melody saxophones, American production of C sopranos commenced circa 1919 and ended around 1929. The same companies that made C melody instruments manufactured C soprano saxophones, and they were marketed to those who wished to perform oboe parts in military bands, vaudeville arrangements, or church hymnals. C sopranos made by some French manufacturers exist but are exceedingly rare. In the early 2010s, the New Zealand-based company Aquilasax contracted a factory in China to produce C sopranos, with modern keywork but a bore copied from C.G. Conn's 1920s model. These received a very mildly positive response from players and technicians who encountered them, but demand was low and only a small number was produced. Aquilasax is now defunct, and the factory that produced these instruments is no longer operational. C sopranos are the same shape as B♭ sopranos and differ in length by only around 3 centimeters. Nearly all vintage examples are keyed from low Bb to high Eb. Aquilasax's 2010s models were keyed to high F and F#. C soprano saxophones usually have a "C" stamped on them, close to the serial number. (en)
