  1. Smallest and highest-pitched saxophone in common use

    Soprano saxophones are the smallest and thus highest-pitched saxophone in common use.

    Soprano and sopranino saxophones are usually constructed with a straight tube with a flared bell at the end, although some are made in the curved shape of the other saxophones. Alto and larger saxophones have a detachable curved neck and a U-shaped bend (the bow) that directs the tubing upward as it approaches the bell.
