The soprano saxophone is a higher-register variety of the saxophone, a woodwind instrument invented in the 1840s.[1] The soprano is the third-smallest member of the saxophone family, which consists (from smallest to largest) of the sopranissimo, sopranino, soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, bass, contrabass saxophone. Soprano saxophones are the smallest and thus highest-pitched saxophone in common use.
