Help or instruction …
Help or instruction for a curved soprano would be the same as any soprano or sax for that matter. It’s all about playing good saxophone, understanding the instrument and playing with good air and controlled fingers.
Not much different from one sax to the other. You might want to look up a good instructor in your area?

you really have a talent given from God to play the sax, Do you know where can I get any tips for playing the curved soprano sax

Hey LirOLoveDf,
In this video I had a Yamaha Custom Z un-Lacquered Alto Sax I borrowed from Yamaha while major repairs had my Alto in the shop for a while.
This Z was a returned sax, said to be out of tune and play bad. Typical of many of the stories I hear about bad Yamaha’s this sax was more than fine; it was amazing. It sounded great and played with ease.
My regular Alto is a Black Yamaha Custom 875 and can be viewed in other video here on my channel.
Blessings,
gv
Selmer is on of the …
Selmer is on of the very good sax makers. There are 4 sax makers with top marks around the world and Selmer is one of them!
Mouthpiece and reed choice has much to do with you and how you play. A good teacher would be your best bet to find the best combination for you since they can hear and see what you might need.
All I can suggest is the safe mouthpieces that many use on Alto Sax. Meyer is a big name. Also great mouthpieces are Yanagisawa, Rouseau and Jody Jazz. Medium facings are best #6
GV What kind of …
GV What kind of saxophone ur using?
well ive been …
well ive been playing 5 years and i got a selmer la voix do u think thats a good alto sax?
wat mouthpiece and reed type should i get?
Well Dr, I have …
Well Dr, I have been playing sax for many years. Started for real over 30 years ago and had a sax 5 years before that to play around on.
If you do something for lots of years, you get good over time if you were trying to improve along the way.
The arts are the one area of life that age is a real plus. The older you get, the more time you have been playing an instrument, the more comfortable and skilled you will become!
Just stay with it and over time you will realize you got pretty dang good!
