\nWhen this modern C soprano<\/a> was first released in November 2009, there was immediately a great deal of interest from those players who are lovers of all things in the key C<\/em>. No longer would C soprano players be required to play vintage instruments and struggle with ergos from early in the 20th century.<\/p>\n

The E&R C Soprano\u2014as it was known in its first incarnation\u2014was a design creation of Germany’s Benedikt Eppelsheim (the “E”), and IW’s President Laksar Reese (the “R”). Benedikt Eppelsheim<\/a> is of course known for his very unique saxophones like the Soprillo, the Tubax, the low A contrabass, and the redesigned bass saxophone. Laksar Reese on the other hand, is known for his company’s full line of saxophones ranging from sopranino to bass<\/a>, with his IW 661 bass saxophone, currently being among one of the most popular new bass saxophones in the world.<\/p>\n

International Woodwind has recently taken over the entire production of this C soprano. The model has undergone some tweaking, and in the July 2011 the horn was reintroduced as the IW C Soprano Series II. It is only available by special order. <\/p>\n
