Yes, they should experiment with sounds and try something new.
The saxophone is an medium instrument to learn but because you have a back ground in the Cello the Saxophone will be a little easier. The only hard thing about learning the Saxophone is the mouth position and playing the notes.
The saxophone has become a permanent member in jazz bands. A typical jazz band has five: two altos, two tenors, and a baritone saxophone. Ocassionally, one of the alto spots will be written for soprano sax. Since the fingurings are the same, a single player has the ability to play any saxophone, however must adjust to the size of each insturment. The saxophone is not as popular in the classical realm, but it is seen in concert and marching bands. Simply put, the saxophone makes music.

the orchestra had a saxophone player, that was really good! :)
You should play the either the alto saxophone or the tenor saxophone. The alto is a good size and most 6th graders play this type. The tenor is a little bigger, but not beyond reason. It is less common but just as easy to play.
For beginners probably alto. The notes are just like a soprano recorder too except extra. I play alto but it came easy because I learned recorder in elementary so... yeah altos good!
