Personally speaking, I prefer the Sterling Sop.  It's a cracking little
instrument and I can maintain intonation right up the register.  However,
Dave Sheedy, who succeeded me on Sop at Blackley,plays their brand new
Yamaha (correct me if I'm wrong Dave) - and  well too!  I can't even
hold the thing. It's too narrow and gave me cramp in my hands even when I
tried to hold it for one verse of a hymn.  Give me my rusty Sterling anyday!

Back to lurking.
