The
sopranino saxophone is one of the smallest members of the
saxophone family. It is tuned in the key of E, and sounds an
octave higher than the
alto saxophone. The sopranino saxophone has a sweet sound and although it is one of the least common of the saxophones in regular use today, it is still being produced by several of the major musical manufacturing companies. Due to their small size, sopraninos are not usually curved like other saxophones. Orsi, however, does make curved sopranino saxophones.
