The Eb Sopranino

The Eb Sopranino is one of the less common members if the sax family.

The Sopraninio is half an octave higher then the soprano saxophone. The soprano saxophone it usually pitched in Bb while the Sopranino saxophone is almost always in Eb.

Though the Sopranino is very high pitched it is not the highest of the Saxophone family, that honor goes to the Bb Soprillo, a full octave higher than the soprano, a very rare sax indeed.

The Sopranino I think makes a great addition to any sax players collection, it is a lot of fun to play and since it is unique you will get much attention.

Proof that God loves trombonists best.

While searching the internet to see if my site could be found in the search engines, “Northwest Musical Instrument Company”, I found an interesting picture.

“The Assumption of the Virgin”
by Filippino Lippi in the church of S. Maria sopra Minerva, Rome.

The claim was the it was the earliest known picture of a trombone, perhaps. But I found the painted quite interesting and have decided to share it on the site.
