Benedikt Eppelsheim has recently improved the Soprillo (Piccolo soprano in Bb - one octave higher than the standard Bb soprano saxophone).
Some subtle changes in the octave mechanism have made the highest notes easier. Also, the keys now have pearls (real ones!) that make the horn very attractive, and it now looks more like a tiny soprano with a tipped bell.
The latest addition is a larger thumb rest that makes the saxophone feel more secure, even without a neck strap. Photo posted below:
