I really want one of these! I play the alto and soprano, and I'm really interested in higher pitched saxes.

What a great site. If you have a spare mouthpiece, I am interested in whether I can tweek it to improve its high note response. I would like to lend a hand in this challenge (no charge). I'm not looking for work as I am quite busy. But I do know how to adjust a tip for good altissimo response and I think the same adjustment would help soprillo response. www.mojomouthpiecework.com

Hey,
I stumbled on this page from Wikipedia. This is a very cool instrument, I'm a tenor sax jazz major at university in New Zealand and I will definitely try and purchase one eventually.
Thankyou for enlightening me.

Dr. Alan Mandel says:
Just wanted to let people know that Jay Easton has a marvelous book on the saxophone family, and it has many, many examples of the soprillo as well as the contrabass and subcontrabass saxes, both as solo instruments and in ensemble situations. It is the most comprehensive treatise I have seen to date, and am planning to use the book with my sax classes and ensembles.
Nigel says:
Thanks for that Alan - is there a link to the book?

Is playing a soprillo sax kinda like trying to play an oboe? Like the same ambateur?
Nigel says:
I've never played an oboe so couldn't tell you. Now as for 'ambateur', is that an 'amateur's embouchure'?

Is it possible, and if so relatively comfortably, to achieve concert C8, the highest note of the piano, or is there a reasonable hope of of this, without mechanical intervention, and if not, are there any thoughts on the possiblility of such mechanical invervention?
A splendid site. Thank you for being so generous with your time.
