Sopranino saxophone demonstration

Our super new sopranino saxophone - the JP146 has landed. Pete Long demonstrates it here beautifully! It may be small but boy is it atomic in value. The keywork is beautifully finished and the rose brass body adds depth to the tone - avoiding the shrillness that is so often present with sopraninos. As always, our instruments are competitively priced, at £351.48 inc. VAT the 146 presents an inexpensive and reliable way into giving yourself or your ensemble a good top line.
Ohana Sopranino Review

A detailed review of the Ohana Sopranino ukulele (SK-21). The sopranino ukulele used in this review was sent to me by TheUkuleleShop. Thanks to Richard and Jana for being so helpful. Take a look at their website here: www.theukuleleshop.co.uk This ukulele was provided by the Ohana Ukulele Company. Check out their main website www.ohana-music.com This is a terrific little (very little) ukulele. If you already have a tenor and a soprano, for instance, and you want something a little different, this sopranino might just fit the bill. It could make an ideal 3rd or 4th instrument in your collection.

Carnival Plastic Sopranino Ukulele

Two famous "German songs" on my new toy ukulele which actually isn't a toy as you can hear. You can't really tell from this video, but the Carnival sopranino really is a lot smaller than a soprano. I'll make another video giving a better idea of the dimensions soon. BTW If anyone has an Islander Ukette for sale, drop me a line. :)

J.-S. Bach, Bourree on sopranino recorder

Bach's Bourree in E-minor is supposed to be played on lute, or at least on a guitar but then I took it as an exercise for the recorder. At some point I switched from soprano to sopranino, so the piece is no longer in E but rather in A-minor, as I guess. You can notice that I try to play the repeating parts with a different phrasing. An exercise for phrasing, it is. The prima volta is played with short phrases, kind of a dance. The seconda volta is more mellow, with longer phrases. Probably I committed some abomination to Bach's music, my only excuse is that at some point, after approximately 2 months of playing it, I really felt in love with this piece. Played on Ariel sopranino recorder. The video is taken with an old Nikon Coolpix camera, the audio recorded with Zoom H4 (which you can see on the table). I still have to figure out how to make the recording of the flute on Zoom H4 louder!

Sopranino Ukulele Comparison: Tangi vs Ohana

As requested on UU (ukuleleunderground.com/forum), here is a comparison video between the Tangi Manini and Ohana sopraninos. A sopranino is a small-sized ukulele, smaller than the standard soprano. I'm sorry to not have the Tangi Gecko (a mango sopranino) to compare, but hey, what can ya do? Please comment on this with your opinion. Thank you!

Yanagisawa Sopranino Saxophone After you've gone

Well, this is the first time I play and own a sopranino saxophone. Never thought, that it would be such fun to play it. The recording was done in my practice room with a Boss Micro Br using the on board micro.The text is a little icronic. I know, it is not perfect, but it is ok. So, I'm just kidding. :)

Vivaldi Sopranino Recorder Concerto, RV443, Largo (ocarina)

Complete with airplane flyover noise, for that authentic Baroque experience! I had to "arrange" this (some would say "hack") fairly extensively for the Mountain G warmstone inline ocarina. In any case, it's by memory and by ear, with modifications freely added, so if it doesn't much resemble the original, you were warned! Audio recorded on American Audio pocket digital recorder.

1950's Plastic Sopranino Ukulele: Yellow and Mellow cover with Kazoo

This is what I call a fun Friday night! :) This is a 1950's or 60's Emenee brand Mickey Mouse Club plastic ukulele, 17 inches long with a nut - to - string length of 11 and 1/2 inches. It's a toy, but if you can play it, it becomes an instrument! Sorry about the words. I was singing from memory.

Garden Improvisation (Sopranino Ukulele)

I had a few minutes to video something. I'd never recorded anything on my sopranino, so I filmed myself just messing about, relaxing for a few minutes. The audio was recorded straight into the camera (I usually use my Zoom H2). Sorry about the poor sound quality. Lots of background noise too: traffic noise, aircraft, battalion of tanks, etc. It was a lovely day: cold but sunny. I'm sitting on a bag of compost.

"Flight of the Bumblebee" on sopranino recorder [Eyal Lerner]

On April 2007 I have organized a theatrical show with a group of 15 young recorder players from Israel. The show is called "Discovering the Recorder" and was written by my israeli friend and coleague Asnat Goldfarb-Arzuan who has also prepared the young group,directed it and together with me performed in the acting parts as well. While all the different recorders were "arguing" about who is more importnat I was asked by Asnat,my "sister", to play something on the sopranino inorder to be excepted by the known satb consort family. מעוף הדבורה בחלילית סופרנינו (איל לרנר) מתוך "תגלית החלילית" מחזה מוסיקלי מאת אסנת גולדפרב ארזואן הופעה בבית הכנסת בג'נובה איטליה סיור הופעות של אנסמבל שיא מבית הספר מכל"ל רמת גן
