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.
