Forum of the Saxes

I LOVE higher pitched horns, so I want a soprano, a sopranino, and a soprillo one day. Who sells these horns, and which are best?

Thanks,
R

Soprano:
Yamaha, Yani's, Selmer's, Keilwerth and much more, even some chinese company's seem to sell them
Sopranino:
Selmer, L.A sax. Yani's and others
Soprillo:
Stencils include beusher, Monet and a others

Also some vintage horns to look at.
Selmer, Yamaha, Keilwerth, Yanagisawa currently don't sell soprillo saxes. So I think you might need to look for Vintage.

Benedikt Appelsheim makes the modern day soprillo. A chunk out of your wallet, but a cool saxophone nonetheless Cool

I'm assuming you are reffering to Benedikt Eppelsheim right?
Btw, here's the site and some recordings of the soprillo:

I like the soprillo the best by far. One nasty little beast. Twisted Evil
