Guide to the Saxophone – Soprano Sax

[Music]
so the next saxophone I have with me
today is a soprano saxophone which
players one octave higher than the tenor
so it sounds a little more like a
clarinet and actually people often
mistaken for equipment because as you
can see the body here has a very
different shape from the tenor one and
as it is completely straight however it
is still a cone as you can see and not a
tube so that is one of the main
differences between the saxophone and
the clarinet along the body of my
soprano saxophone runs the same set of
keys than on the tenor they’re actually
placed exactly in the same way and
follow the same mechanism I have my
finger keys here and i have my side keys
here and then i have my palm keys here
and they’re exactly the same mechanism
they’re just smaller and more compact so
for the soprano saxophone just like for
the tenor saxophone and any other
saxophone for that matter you will have
mouthpieces in different shapes and
sizes and materials this one right here
is made out of hardened rubber so it too
will have a softer rounder sound than
the one next to it that is made out of
metal and will have a brighter sound
