By adjusting your jaw by dropping and tightening it, you can change the pitch significantly. In addition, if you increase your air speed enough, an octave jump up can be accomplished

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 :)
Do two notes of on octave sound the same?
no
What is a rack mount equalizer and what is it used for?
A rack mount equalizer is a slim electronic device which can be mounted onto the wall. It is used by sound recording artists to change the octave of a sound.
How does octaves relate to frequency?
The frequency of the sound wave doubles when increasing by 1 octave, and halves when decreasing by 1 octave.
How is the saxophones sound prodced?
the sound vibrates down the barrel. When the keys are pressed, the wavelength canges because the sound has either further or less far to travel
What does an octave look like?
an octave is a sound ratio An octave is a span of eight diatonic notes in music. In other words, it is the same note played seven full notes higher or lower.
What is the transposing effect of going an octave lower on a music piece?
Not sure what you're question's asking, but transposing music is taking an existing piece of music in one key and putting it into another key note for note. So it would be the same melody in a different key. The effect of sounding a melody an octave lower would be to make it "deeper" sounding. Going from the sound of a woman's voice to a man's voice would be the most obvious example. On a keyboard, moving to the left 7 white notes would make the sound an octave lower. The sound of a 'cello is approximately and octave lower than a viola. The sound of a double bass is approximately an octave lower than a 'cello. The sound of a tuba is approximately an octave lower than a tenor trombone. The sound of a flute is approimately an octave lower than a piccolo. Lower sounds tend to be less brilliant to our ear and more mellow than higher sounds generally.
Do cellos violins clarinets and saxophones sound well together?
It depends on your opinion. If you get people that play the instrument well, then they might sound good playing a song.
A change in frequency is a change in what?
A change in frequency is a change in pitch, in terms of sound. try to picture a sine wave in your mind. When you lower the frequency of the wave, it stretches the sine wave out (Which is how the pitch of the sound is lowered. I'm assume that you're question is about Audio.) For example, if you had a sound wave at 440Hz (And is aslo the musical note "A" on the center octave), and you changed its frequency to 329.63Hz, it would then sound lower in pitch (The musical note of "E") I hope that helps ;) ~Mitch
What does the tenor vocal range sound like?
about average in terms of high-low pitch. a good tenor's range is typically from an octave below middle c to an octave above middle c.
What does dropping your voice an octave mean?
An octave is a defined difference in frequency between two notes. Dropping your voice an octave means to deepen (lower) the frequency of the sound produced by your vocal cords. Singers and actors often do this while performing; it is more difficult to deliberately drop the frequency of your speech in normal conversation. This also happens to young men during puberty, when the vocal chords change in response to the increased concentration of testosterone.
Does the piccolo have a high or lower sound then a flute explain your answer?
A piccolo is an octave higher because it is smaller than the flute.
