What is the better one for a beginner ?

The sc800 has the older, Mark VI style palm keys, which many apparently don't like. My daughter, who is a high school player, started on soprano a couple years ago with a sc800, which she loves. She took to the horn very quickly, and didn't even comment on the palm keys. Maybe she didn't know any better, since it's the only soprano she's played. She has smaller hands, too. Her instructor loves the tone and intonation she gets with it.

No question as far as I'm concerned, the models starting with the 900 and later are superior in every way. The 800 is very good, but they really upped their game even more from the 900 sopranos and up. Pay the extra bread and go for the 991.

SC991 and you'll never need another horn.

Soprano is a terrible horn for a beginner though.
