The Saxophone came from the Oboe, because they were made of wood and would not hold up in the "Marching Bands" very well
Yes the saxophone is the newest instrument to be added to the Woodwind section. I had to look this up for a Music test I needed.
Most common are Bb Soprano, Eb Alto, Bb Tenor, Eb Baritone.
his inspiration to make the sax was to make an instrument that if u blow to hard it will go up 8 notes and not be out of tune
If you already play a woodwind instrument , it's kinda easy to pick up , but if you are just starting out its a little difficult . I suggest start on alto
Yes, the cold temperature affects the quality of a saxophone because the metal becomes very cold causing the instrument to go flat. Opposite: Very hot temperatures can cause a saxophone to become more sharp than usual also. Temperature can also effect the saxophone reed, causing it to dry up or full of spit.
Depends on the instrument model. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally cheap electrics are about $100, then go up to thousands of dollars for the really good and expensive ones. Saxophones cost about $400. There.
There is no instrument either should or shouldn't play, it is up to you to make a decision of an instrument you like. As a musician myself, I recommend piano and/or saxophone. The piano can be played in so many different styles, it is not just about classical music. The saxophone can produce beautiful sounds and can also be played in a number of ways to suit your own musical preference. However, as stated before, it is vital that YOU choose an instrument that feels right for you, otherwise you may lack the motivation to learn and grow in both skill and confidence with that instrument.
Clarinets and Saxophones both make up single reed instrument families. There are others, but these are the two most well known. The clarinet has a nearly cylindrical bore and is made of wood or a wood substitute. The Saxophone has a conical bore and is made of brass.
i don't know right now it well come up too me
The notes for "Stereo Hearts" on alto saxophone typically start with the melody in concert pitch. For transposing, remember that the alto saxophone is an E♭ instrument, so you would transpose the concert pitches up a major sixth. The main melody usually involves notes such as B, C#, D, E, and F#. It's best to refer to specific sheet music for precise notes and rhythms.

Soprano: flute, piccolo, oboe, clarinet, soprano saxophone. Alto: english horn, alto saxophone. Tenor: tenor saxophone, alto clarinet (despite its name, it is usually used as a tenor instrument). Bass: bassoon, contrabassoon, bass/contrabass clarinets, baritone saxophones. Of course, since woodwind instruments typically have a greater range than human voices, there is considerable overlap between parts. Bassoons frequently play the tenor part, and clarinets often play the alto part.
