Jeff - My site is about soprillos - there are zillions of other sites dealing with other saxophones.

Hi Nigel, are there any mp3 /wma downloads that I can put on my mp3 player that I can play to my music class of 12-13 year olds? I'm spending a lesson introducing them to saxes. I play soprano, alto & tenor myself, I'd like them to hear the full range of saxes. Thanks, Demetri (Canberra, Australia)
Nigel says:
You are welcome to save any of the audio/video clips on http://www.soprillo.com/audio.php I'm currently working on making a CD of soprillo music but it is a few months from completion.

I'm currently an A-flat clarinetist and this instrument is truly amazing in tone quality. I want to start doubling up and I plan to make the soprillo my primary saxophone.
Nigel says:
I haven't heard one played - do let me know if you have a recording.

Hi, what kind of mouthpiece does the soprillo use and is the mouthpiece that you recieve with the soprillo a decent one?
Nigel says:
The mouthpiece is a Zinner. There is no choice in mouthpiece, but you can choose between larger and smaller chamber and several facings. Only you can decide if it's decent or not. (Benedikt Eppelsheim says: you can chose which mouthpiece to try first, and he won't refuse to exchange it if necessary).

I was just wondering, if there was anywhere possible that I could get a soprillo saxaphone and how much it would cost? I live in Australia and was wondering if there was anywhere that i could order one or even try one in this area.
Nigel says:
Contact Benedikt Eppelsheim from the link above for current prices. He can ship soprillos to order to anywhere but only as a purchase not for testing.

Hello... I am in High school and I play the alto and soprano saxophone. I started on the alto and have recently started the soprano. When I play the soprano my embouchure gets tired within about 10-15 minutes. I am wondering if you think that I should even attempt the soprillo if the soprano is difficult for me now. What should I do? I don't want to buy an instrument that I won't be able to play... Should I buy a soprillo now or just wait?
Nigel says:
If your embouchure tires after 10 mins. on soprano, I doubt you'd last a minute on soprillo. Perhaps continue with soprano for now and review things when you have more stamina.

Nigel, I would like to have one of your horns. I have a Kielworth straaight alto in new condition I'd like to trade. Are you interested? Thanks, Joe D
Nigel says:
Joe, I have an curved alto I'm happy with thanks. And, I don't actually sell soprillos.
