Grandissimo! Anche se sono italiano, e non capisci quello che scrivo, il solo fatto che possiedi un soprillo ti rende unico! by an Italian Saxophonist.

Couldn't believe it! Sounds like a violin - I love it. Could be doubling from tenor to soprillo!!!

I play the Alto and I am doing a report on the sax. I had no clue there was even a soprillo! Thanks for introducing it to the world.

I keep reading about the octave key being in the mouthpiece, but I don't really get what it means by that. Could you elaborate?
Nigel says:
You will find a picture of what it looks like here: www.soprillo.com/about.php On all other saxes, the octave key is placed somewhere on the upper neck of the instrument. There isn't room to do this on the soprillo because it's so small, which is why the octave key has been cleverly incorporated into the mouthpiece.

Hi Nigel..I am a saxophone maniac from India and it was just just great to know about soprillo...i play alto sax since last six years..bought it from u.k....i am too tempted to buy soprillo but unfortunately can't afford one right now..may be in the near future..great job...i envy you, man!...thanks a ton for bringing out such a wonderful instrument.
Nigel says:
I appreciate your comments Chetan and hope you have the chance to get your own Soprillo soon. Do bear in mind, I only play the instrument. The real innovator is it's maker - Benedikt Eppelsheim.

John D Howard says:
I am a saxophonist myself and have been playing now for nearly two years. Although I am quite obviously not a professional, I am intrieged by this tiny piece of musical engineering! I listened to some of the sound files and found the sound beautiful and immensely relaxing.
