Yes! Its very hard but you have to keep working on it. The pitch falls down when you go that high. You just have to work on it. It also is a note only dolphins can hear ;)
soprano sax
A B-Flat soprano sax is in the same key as a trumpet, clarinet, tenor sax, etc.. This is the most common soprano sax. If you were in band you'd probably be playing one of those parts as most band arrangements don't have a soprano sax part. An E-flat soprano sax is in the same key as an alto sax, or a bari sax. Sopranos in this key are less common & if you played this one in band they'd probably stick you with a alto sax part. My opinion is to get a b-flat as that is the most popular key for soprano & has more opportunities just in case the band actually does need a soprano, you'd be able to play the part.
Yes, he does. He played alto and tenor as well as soprano on some of his earlier recordings, and still occasionally uses them (such as on his cover of "Pick up the Pieces" with David Sanborn).
If you play a 3.5 reed on Alto Sax, you might start with a 3 or 3.5 reed on Soprano Sax. The Soprano Sax typically requires a slightly softer reed than Alto due to its higher pitch and different embouchure. However, individual preference and playing style can also influence the best choice, so it’s a good idea to try both sizes to see which feels more comfortable and produces the desired sound.
If you have sugary foods like candy before playing on the sax as it gunges up your sax and makes the pads sticky, hard to press; hard to play.

Soprano Sax - album - was created on 1957-11-01.
They play every notes, not just flat notes.
Either soprano Oboe soprillo sax or sopranino sax or piccolo

Adolphe Sax, in the 1840s.
Yes, I play Contra bassoon soprano and tenor sax throughout the year. So yeah

The soprano sax is smaller than the alto, but im not sure how big it exactly is
If you must start on sax, most teachers would recommend starting on alto sax. It's the easiest to control and much smaller and lighter than the tenor which is the other likely candidate. The soprano is smaller yet, but it's difficult to play in tune and there aren't parts for soprano in much band music. Personally, I'd recommend that young players start on clarinet. It's smaller and lighter, and fits young hands better, and it's easy to switch to sax later. It's also easier to lug around and costs less. Serious reed players are expected to play any of the clarinet and sax families, as well as flute. Players who start on clarinet will find that easier. It's much easier for a clarinetist to learn to play sax, than for a sax player to learn clarinet.
