In the modern orchestra or band the woodwind section usually contains piccolos, flutes, clarinets, oboes, bassoons, contrabassoons, soprano saxophones, alto saxophones, baritone saxophones, and tenor saxophones. However, there are many other woodwind instruments out there such as recorders, bagpipes, panflutes, aulos, duduks, ocarinas, shawms, crumhorns, gemshorns, didgeridoo, kortholt, dulcians, and shvis, just to name some off the top of my head. Hope this helped.
Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Baritone Saxophone
Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra was created in 1966.

The most common types of saxophones you will find in concert bands and such are the Bb tenor, Eb alto, Eb barry (baritone) saxophones. Another common type is the Bb soprano. There are many different types of saxophones, though, so don't be surprised if, for example, you find a C soprano and a Bb soprano or whatever. They're still both saxes. Hope this helped.
There are flutes, piccolos, clarinets, oboes, bass clarinets, bassoons, and all saxophones. Most school bands only have alto and tenor saxophones, maybe a bari-sax, and rarely a soprano saxophone.
He obviously has lots of saxophones but the only clue I've got is for his Alto Sax, his primary alto is Selmer Mark VI.
Saxophones are reed instruments not normally found in a symphony orchestra.
