Less a copy of the rather imperfect C-saxophones of the late 19th and the early 20th century , but more or less a modified Bb tenor saxophone featuring accurate intonation and modern key work to provide ease of play.
The C soprano sax is shorter than the Bb soprano - the C soprano measures about 570 mm compared to 650 mm of a standard Bb soprano - but it can be played using standard mouthpieces, It has a re-designed bore and offers a key range from low B Flat to high F#.
