All Saxophones are made of brass. They have a plastic, hard rubber, metal or even a glass mouthpiece. The reed is bamboo

They cost of a metal mouthpiece can range from around 50 dollars to several hundred dollars, the price depends on the type of metal, quality of mouthpiece, and the type of sound that you wish to produce (ie. Jazz, Classical etc.)
Junior Walker played a Selmer Mark VI, although he did own a Yamaha that was displayed at the RRHF briefly. He also used a Metal Lawton 8*BB mouthpiece...
Yes, but they each have a different type of mouthpiece. A trumpet has a metal cup type of mouthpiece, where a saxophone has a plastic mouthpiece that holds a wooden reed.

most of the time
well the reed is only used for woodwinds and the mouthpiece is only used for brass. the reed is a thin piece of wood basically that when wet is more flexible and is able to vibrate which produces the sound. the mouthpiece is metal and you have to "buzz" in the mouthpiece to make a sound
Either may give a brilliant sound. The material the mouthpiece is made from doesn't really have that much to do with the sound. It really depends more on the shape of the chamber. For example, a mouthpiece with a very open chamber give a rich full sound while a mouthpiece with a high, shelf baffle will tend to give a brighter cutting sound. It is probably more common to find a high baffle in a metal mouthpiece, but there are plenty of metal mouthpiece with a low rollover baffle, and some rubber pieces with high baffles, so don't worry much about the material,
Saxophones are wood wind instruments, meaning they use wind(your breath) and wood(the reed). They are typically made from brass. The buttons are sometimes made of pearl(hence they are known as pearls), the neck has cork on it, and the mouthpiece is generally plastic, but can be wood. The ligature(the piece that holds the reed) is generally steel or some other metal.
The ligature is the metal band on the clarinet's mouthpiece. It holds the reed in place.
it provides the sound due to the vibration of the lips when the player blows into the tubular resonator.
