Soprano Sax

	This is a picture of a soprano mouthpiece. It is the smallest of all four mouthpieces. It is put on the sax the same way as a all of the saxes by putting it on the piece of cork. The reed is also very small. It produces the highest pitch of sound in the sax family.
This is a picture of the neck. Unlike all of the other saxes, the neck is already connected to the body. The piece of cork is where the mouthpiece goes. The neck helps the sound travel through the instrument. As you can see, the octive key isn't on it. That's because it is lower on the body.
	To the left is a picture of the the keys. They work the same as all of the other saxes by pushing them down you produce different pitches. They are closer together but they are still connected by screws and springs. the way the body looks makes this sax look like a clarinet.
This is the bell of the soprano. It is very small. This is where the high-pitched sound comes out. Notice that it doesn't curve around the body. That is what makes this instrument unique. The bell still curves out to make a hole in the end.
	This is the neckstrap. It helps you hold the sax without dropping it. Though this sax isn't that heavy, it isn't mandatory to wear one. Though the sax doesn't weigh that much, it is still good to have.
