	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Soprillo
		The soprillo, a piccolo or sopranissimo saxophone, is the world's smallest saxophone.
		The Soprillo saxophone is one of the newest members of the saxophone family, and one of the rarest!
		Falling between the soprillo and soprano saxophones, it is rarely heard other than in saxophone ensembles, new contemporary music and the occasional orchestral piece (such as Ravel's orchestral "Bolero").

	All about the sopranissimo saxophone, or soprillo saxophone.
		It is followed (in terms of size and pitch) by the sopranino, soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, bass, contrabass, and the supercontrabass.
		(The soprillo saxophone is a half octave above the sopranino sax.) It's upper register extends to a fifth above the sopranino saxophone.
		The soprillo saxophone is so fantastically small that the upper octave key is placed in the mouthpiece and no existing parts could be used.

		The soprillo is a true "sopranissimo" instrument, sounding an octave above the soprano and half an octave above the sopranino.
		Due to the small size of the soprillo, the upper octave key has been placed into the mouthpiece.
		The soprillo is currently manufactured by Benedikt Eppelsheim, Munich.

		I also spoke with the builder of the soprillo (benedikt eppelsheim).
		He told me that a year of practicing was the minimum to play the soprillo decently.

		I’ve been watching the development of the Soprillo and Tubax for several years now and I’m happy to say that a few friends and acquaintances of mine have purchased Eb and Bb Tubaxes.
		The waiting period would be about one year for the Bb and C (not the Eb) Tubax.
		The Eb Tubax is available within 5 or 6 months, at the moment, and (I hope) the Soprillo, too.

	Soprillo sax - Sax on the Web Forum
		It would be interesting to hear a soprillo in jazz.
		I have also been experimenting with various voicings in a big band setting...I use 2 sopraninos, 2 sopranos and an alto instead of the normal section, so that the whole sax section is now up an octave.
		I am thinking of trying a soprillo in the mix, and even using it with maybe an oboe or some flutes...lots to try and see if I can come up with a satisfactory sound for a section, in maybe a ballad or an up tune....

	Invision Power Board > has any1 played an saprillo or contrabass?
		Apr 6 2006, 06:37 AM I have had the pleasure of both, and I must say they are indeed a treat, although they are quite difficult.
		The soprillo is difficult to control, and the contra requires tricky airflow manipulation, but both are enjoyable nonetheless.
		I used to have for a brief time, a beautiful sopranino but the use for it was minimal and i was very broke so we parted ways.

	Soprillo saxophone?
		I bought a soprillo during last summer...it's a riot to play, and being in Bb, I can play tunes in the keys that I learned them in--being a soprano, and tenor player mainly.
		I perform in three groups--one is a rock band, and I play about 7 saxes or so.
		I'm planning on trying a soprillo in the mix..but have to figure out a voicing that would be pleasant to listen to...

	The Saxophone Family - Wikibooks
		The soprano comes in two other shapes, the saxello, similar to the straight soprano, but with a tipped neck and bell, and the curved soprano saxophone, which looks like a small alto.
		There are two smaller varities of saxophone, the sopranino (in Eb, an octave above the alto, in both straight and curved versions), and newly developed, the soprillo saxophone (sopranissimo) in Bb, an octave above the soprano, straight version only (as of 2005).
		Lower in pitch than the soprano, and higher than the tenor, the alto sax is an E flat instrument.

		You'd think PETA would be all over their case for that evil little device, let alone a soprillo.
		05-29-2003, 11:20 PM the soprillo is also called the sopranissimo sax (more fitting for such a high pitched instrument).
		In the words of Jeff Goldblum..."Just because we CAN do something, doesn't mean we SHOULD." :?I was impressed that the soprillo really didn't sound all that shrill.

		Another name for the Soprillo is the "Sopranissimo" sax, or less often the Bb Piccolo Sax.
		There is a blurb and a pic of the instrument on my website as well (www.genesisconcert.com).

	Soprillo: Guestbook and Comments
		I won't be playing the soprillo (just a bit to small for my likings), but I guess you will hear me on the tubax.
		The soprillo is challenging to play and the 'fun' element is related to what you play musically rather than the amount of practise time attempting to get it in tune.
		Some of the highest notes may need slightly different fingerings but this may vary depending on the player and the instrument so it would be up to the individual to figure what works best for them.

	Saxtet Publications: Waltzing Soprillda (saxophone and piano edition)
		This witty and imaginative take on Australia's signature waltz was originally written for Nigel Wood and his soprillo.
		In it, the agile little piccolo sax (soprillo) revisits 'Matilda' in the styles of Ravel, Schubert, Beethoven, Sousa, swing and more, and she is (of course!) serenaded with didgeridoo fanfares.
		Although written for the unique soprillo and piano (Nigel is one of the very few soprilloists in the UK), this sax and piano version can be played on any Bb or Eb saxophone allowing this antipodean gem to get the wider airing it deserves.

		I could quote Arthur Benade's articles about why very high saxophones are difficult to play, but the bottom line is, Benedikt Eppelsheim has dared to go where no one has gone before and with practice, you can be the highest saxophone player on your block.

	icBirmingham - Every shade of sax in the city
		The standard soprano, alto, tenor and baritone are supplemented not only by the rare sopranino and bass saxes, but by the virtually unheard-of soprillo and tubax, or contrabass sax.
		The tubax is a re-thought, compact contrabass instrument which uses a baritone mouthpiece but is pitched an octave lower.
		In the choir the soprillo has a role like a piccolo in a symphony orchestra, picking up the highlights.

	Curved soprillo - Sax on the Web Forum
		I'd love to have one of those soprillos, just for the cuteness factor.
		A curved one would be darn near impossible to play, definitely not enough room for a right hand keywork, if the body was curved--the Eb Orsi (LA Sax) sopranino is tough enough as is....what IS worse, although it's a straight horn....
		I have seen curved sopraninos, I believe orsi and eppelsheim make them but soprillos the only people who could play a soprillo that was curved would be little kids!!!

		Construction difficulties mean that only recently has a true sopranissimo saxophone been produced.
		Nicknamed the Soprillo, this piccolo-sized saxophone is an octave above the soprano, and its diminutive size necessitates an octave key on the mouthpiece.

		The piece for soprillo is not so difficult, but I can't at this time imaginize "alone", as the pieces are very linked.
