About the Sopranino Saxophone
The highest member of the saxophone family in regular use. Over 180 years of history. Rarely seen outside classical and experimental music. The tiny size makes it difficult to play in tune. Adolphe Sax original design included this instrument. The sound is piercing and distinctive.
