	HyperMusic -- Musical Instruments: Saxophone
		Although saxophones are built in different keys and sizes, each uses the same fingerings, allowing saxophone players to transfer from instrument to instrument with ease.
		The saxophone was invented to be a bridge between the woodwind and brass sections, and to boost the sound of the woodwind section in military bands.
		However, the saxophone is classified as a member of the woodwind family because of its flute-like key system and the use of a reed.

	Alto Saxophone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The alto saxophone was invented by the Belgian instrument maker, Adolphe Sax, in Brussels around 1840.
		The alto saxophone belongs to the instrumental family called the woodwinds.
		The alto saxophone is twenty-nine inches long, and the total length of uncoiled tubing is four feet.

	Saxophone
		Saxophone mouthpieces are typically made of hard rubber or metal – or of cheap styrene plastic if you insist on using the one that came with your instrument.
		A saxophone reed is prevented from escaping the mouthpiece to which it’s affixed by clamping it in place with a band of metal or rubberize fabric called a "ligature." You’ll probably imagine so simple a mechanism to require no great esoteric knowledge or significant variation.
		Saxophones built prior to the 1930s typically have sufficiently erratic intonation and unconventional fingering as to be useful only as innovative plumbing fixtures and duck calls.

	Saxophone Basics
		As mentioned earlier, the removable tube at the top of the saxophone is called the neck, or sometimes gooseneck (presumably due to the "goose-like" sound produced when you blow on it with the mouthpiece attached).
		The baritone saxophone is the largest of the "regular" saxophone family and comes in two sizes: one with a range to low A and one with a range to low Bb.
		The C melody saxophone was originally intended to be a part of the orchestral set of saxophones which alternated between C and F instead of Eb and Bb.

	Saxes Only:The Saxophone Family
		Usually the alto saxophone is taught to the beginner to learn the basic ideas of the saxophone, and then later plays multiple saxophones such as the tenor and soprano.
		One of the reasons the alto is so popular is the fact that it is the middle saxophone, not to high and not to low.
		The straight alto and tenor saxophone is said to have a brighter sound, similar to the soprano.

	Eb Alto
		Yanagisawa altos are very close in sound to Selmer Paris Serie III horns and not as edgy as Yamaha YAS-875EX horns.
		Hallmarks of Keilwerth saxophones are the large diameter bow, the very long bow radius and high quality German fit and finish.

	Caltabiano Concerto for Alto Saxophone
		Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Orchestra was completed in 1983 and received its premiere by the San Francisco Symphony in 1986.
		This relationship is heard from the outset, where the orchestra exposes three themes: long held notes in descending minor seconds, accompanied by explosive percussion and alternating with abrasive horn fanfares; quiet falling fourths in solo strings with vibraphone; and a jazz-like figure of ascending major thirds in the winds, accompanied by the hi-hat.
		Finally, the saxophone sustains a piercing high F over stabbing orchestral chords, bringing the music to a halt.

	Alto Saxophone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The alto saxophone is the second smallest and makes a sound higher than the tenor and the baritone, but lower than the soprano.
		Like all saxophones, the alto is essentially a long, brass tube with holes in it, which are opened and closed by metal keys controlled by the fingers of the person playing it.
		Later on, the alto saxophone became the lead instrument in many of the dance bands which were the mainstay of nightclubs from the late 1920s to the 1950s.

	Saxophone: Saxophone soprano brand? Sax and flute fingering similar?
		Experienced saxophone and clarinet teacher can answer any questions from people who are learning to play saxophone or clarinet.
		Before you spend money on a soprano saxophone, play alto for a couple of years and think seriously about when you would use a soprano.
		If you think you have a real opportunity to play soprano, then I would definitely recommend RENTING an alto sax, taking lessons, learning to play it, and then when your teacher says you are ready, return the alto to the store and RENT a soprano sax for a year.
