How are saxophones and clarinets related?
The clarinet is a million times easier than the saxophone in every aspect. First because clarinet is just like piano where the notes are very easy. But on saxophone there are extra flats and sharps, you have to study things that you don't have to on clarinet, you need more air for saxophone, and the saxophone is very heavy! On clarinet you learn how to play all the notes in less than a month. If you play saxophone you learn the notes in more than 5 months! The saxophone is a lot harder! If you play saxophone, you need to layer your fingering more precisely too. Also they are tuned differently too. So if you play in a concert, the notes you play will be very confusing on the saxophone. Also the clarinet is very light. So it will be very easy to play clarinet than saxophone. So for my opinion clarinet is easier. People out there who think sax is easier, you are wrong. Clarinet is a million times easier than the saxophone in every aspect. Also for saxophone you need more air for blowing. You get tired more easily too. I admit clarinet squeaks a lot. But once you get used to it, you will stop squeaking.

What are facts about about the saxophone?
The saxophone is made of a cheaper metal, (often brass) and then lacquered in gold to give it its appealing look. The saxophone uses a reed, which vibrates against the mouthpiece to produce vibrations which result in sound. When you depress the keys on a saxophone, it lengthens or shortens the 'pipe' in the saxophone which will determine the pitch of the saxophone. the saxophone has pads which press against the key holes to make airtight seals, and the fingerkeys are often made of Mother-of-Pearl. The reed is attached to the mouthpiece with something called a ligature, which securely holds the reed in place. There are 4 common sizes of saxophone, and in order from smallest to largest they are, Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Baritone. Saxophones often have 3 parts; the body, the neck and the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece is attached to the neck and then the neck is attached to the body. These are just some of the millions of facts about the saxophone.
