Hey Nigel. I wanna compliment the song that you have called Eclogue on your website. Im always listening to it. Its one of my favorites man, YOu did an amazing Job on that solo man. I have 2 questions for you Nigel.
1. Is there anyway i can download the whole thing of Eclogue or do you have a CD with that songs or anything?
2. I play the Soprano sax and i can play pretty well with it but when i do the low notes they squeek up an octave. I have no idea Why. The Soprano is new as well i bearly got it about 2 weeks ago. Is there any tips or hints or help or anything that would help me with this problem or could it be the reed or is it me or anything :)
Nigel says:
1. I recorded Eclogue on 'Sax in the City' CD. You can buy a copy online here: www.saxtetpublications.com/catalogue/viewrecording.php?id=238& A sax & piano version will be published by Saxtet Publications in due course.
2. Find a good sax teacher, preferably a soprano specialist.

Hello! I am at Eagle Pass HIgh School in Texas, and I play Alto Saxophone in band and used to play bari sax when I was in 8th grade. I find the soprillo very interesting and I appriciete the soprillo alot. I would like to played sometime but I know that just a professional saxophone player would played good but I would like to try.

Hey Nigel howya doing? I was wondering is it true that you should be a professional in order to really play ther soprillo because i heard it was a very difficult instrument. I am a soprano Sax Player and i was interested in getting one of these
Nigel says:
What is true is that the soprillo is difficult to play - by anyone, professional or otherwise. That shouldn't stop you getting one, just be forewarned that it isn't as simple as like playing a soprano with closer key work!
