What saxophone is shaped like a clarinet?
The B-flat soprano saxophone is in the same key as the common B-flat soprano clarinet. In other words, the sounding pitches on their respective music would be the same. The clarinet and saxophone families both have many instruments in them, and they are mostly pitched either in B-flat or E-flat, with some exceptions, one being the C-melody saxophone.
Why do clarinets and saxophones transpose?
Im not sure if you meant 'why' or how' do clarinets and saxophones transpose. For the sake of logic, I will assume "How do clarinets and Saxophones transpose" as the alternative does not make sense to me. Well, quite simply, from a clarinet to a Tenor or Soprano Saxophone, there is NO transposing needed as the Clarinet, Tenor Saxophone and Soprano Saxophone are all Bb (B Flat) instruments (which means that a C on the Clarinet will sound the same as a C on those 2 saxes). However, for the Alto and Baritone saxophones, you will need to transpose, as Alto and Baritone are Eb (E Flat) instruments. One thing to note is that a Clarinet has a Register Key, while a Saxophone has an Octave Key. The register key raises the pitch of a clarinet by a 12th (19 semitones) while the Octave key raises by an octave, or 8th (12 semitones). Just something to consider when making the transition :)
What is the best brass or woodwind?
They are about the same. I play french horn and I like the most but woodwinds at least in middle get the leading parts but when you're in brass you play better parts in high school. So answering your question I think that they are both very different. And I think that brass is better though because we are the bass and brass is needed more than woodwinds.

Is the soprano saxophone easy to play?
the fingerings on a soprano are exactly the same, but producing a beautiful sound takes years of practice
I currently play the clarinet. I am interested in playing the soprano saxophone. Would this be hard for me to get used to?
not at all, they have same mouth (reed) they have same finger placement, and for concert scales saxes only go 2 octives, not three like clarinet.

What is the difference between a soprano and alto flute?
a soprano is straight like clarinet and usaully gold colored and the alto is curved on the bottom it makes a 180 degree turn outward. and a soprano sax is smaller and often straight instead of curved. it is pitched at B flat as opposed to E flat. alto sax is the most common saxophone. musicmoo :) Soprano sax is sometimes semicurved and sometimes straight. It has the same pitch as a tenor sax whereas an Eb alto sax is the same pitch as a baritone sax. hope this helps, Saxesofevil and walt899
Who plays tenor saxophone?
Many saxophone players can easily switch between different types of saxophones (soprano, alto, tenor, bari, etc.) because the notes are the same for each saxophone.
Do all clarinets have the same fingering?
Yes, they do. It is the length of the instrument that determines the pitch differences. For example the bass clarinet sounds an octave lower than the B-flat clarinet; the shorter E-flat soprano clarinet sounds a fifth higher than the B-flat.
