Yes, contemporary Meyer mouthpieces are primarily used for jazz. The Meyer pieces have been favorites of many jazz players for many many years;especially the vintage pieces that have New York USA stamped on them . They carry the same sort of legendary reputation as the vintage Selmer Mark6 saxophones and are highly prized for their particular sound or tone. The new Meyer pieces are priced around $80-100 online but it is not unusual to see a vintage New York Meyer be sold at an online auction for $2500-3500.
It sounds the same, you just need to push in the mouthpiece into the neck. Just like saying, what would happen if you played a tenor saxophone with an alto saxophone mouthpiece. I have played a tenor before with my alto sax mouthpiece. What I meant to say was to push the mouthpiece in more than you would on the alto saxophone neck. The first time I answered I didn't sign in.

Usually, it's the alto sax, tenor sax, barri sax, trumpet, trombone, drums and piano. In the older jazz bands and in some modern jazz bands, the clarinet and soprano sax are also included.
All Saxophones are made of brass. They have a plastic, hard rubber, metal or even a glass mouthpiece. The reed is bamboo
He plays the saxophone. Alto sax to be more spacific. ;)

Yes and no, a symphony does have an alto sax sometimes but it is not required for it to have one. It really depends if the symphony is classical, blues, or jazz. Jazz and blues should always have an alto sax. Classical doesn't really need an alto sax, but it does make classical sound better.
No. It may be possible to force an alto mouthpiece on a tenor neck or to seal a tenor mouthpiece on an alto neck, but the sax won't play properly in tune with the wrong size mouthpiece.

The Alto Sax is the second smallest in the range, The Soprano Sax is the smallest and plays in the highest register. The Tenor fits in the range between the Alto and the Baritone and is a fairly standard Jazz and blues instrument playing in the Mid to Bass range
Farm out alto sax notes

it allows the alto sax to make a different sound.
