The Sandner 171-S Solo Soprano Ces is a cylindrical marching flute with a range of about three octaves and the sound characteristics of a concert flute. Its full and pure sound, as well as the well-balanced tuning, allow a harmonious interplay with other instruments. The mouthpiece has been optimised for an easier response. The use of Sandner treble, soprano, alto and tenor flutes brings a fantastic richness of sound to minstrel and wind band music, as well as home and school music.
