Yikes! Anyone on this list have a sopranino sax?

Yes, an old straight Yanagisawa.  Not that I play it very often, but it is
fun from time to time.  Imagine the high Bb (above the treble staff) on the
bari sax: this is the lowest note on the sopranino.

No, but on my alto I can play up to the sopranino's highest note! (through
serious altissimo)

Ok, I'll confess... I've got a sopranino sax too! Mine is a straight Orsi. The
lowest note (Bb) on my sopranino is the same as the highest standard note (Eb)
on my bass sax. So I guess you wouldn't need the saxes in between... :-)
I actually find it easier to double bass/sopranino than i.e. tenor/baritone.
Anyone else have the same experience?

Perhaps you can, but not with the same facility that I can on my
sopranino.  Now, when you want to get SERIOUS about high notes, try some
altissimo stuff on sopranino Saxophone.  Un-real!
