It is made of brass
They are typically made of brass ever since they were first created. Even though they are made of brass they are still considered woodwinds because of the reed. However, other materials have been used to construct saxophones. In the 1950's the Grafton Saxophone was made which was an Alto Saxophone made out of plastic. They only ever made alto saxophones. Yanagisawa and Bauhaus Walstein made saxophones out of phosphor bronze because it changed the tone of the notes. Later, Yanagisawa made necks, bells and then entire bodies out of sterling silver. Keilwerth and P. Mauriat have made saxophones out of nickel silver, the same material used to make a Flute.
Basically, the alto saxophone along with all saxophones are made of brass, with a plastic, hard rubber, metal, or even glass mouthpiece, with a bamboo reed. Copper and Zinc are alloyed together
brass or silver, the mouthpeice is resin with reeds used. The saxophone is made out of brass with a gold paint layer on the outside so as to make the saxophone look more like a brass instrument instead of looking like a woodwind instrument.
The Saxophone has been made out of a few different materials. Most mouthpieces are made out of plastic, but some are made out of metal or hard rubber. The cork is made out of cork from a cork tree. The metal part of most Saxophones is Copper and Zinc. There can also be gold and brass too. The pads are made out of a special type of cardboard, or leather now a days. The reed is made out of different types of cane or wood usually. There are also plastic reeds, and fiber glass reeds which are not used often now.
