Best Answer

a soprano is straight like Clarinet and usaully gold colored and the alto is curved on the bottom it makes a 180 degree turn outward. and a soprano sax is smaller and often straight instead of curved. it is pitched at B flat as opposed to E flat. alto sax is the most common Saxophone. musicmoo :)

Soprano sax is sometimes semicurved and sometimes straight. It has the same pitch as a tenor sax whereas an Eb alto sax is the same pitch as a baritone sax. hope this helps, Saxesofevil and walt899

The Soprano Saxophone is pitched in Bb, and sounds a major second below written. The sopranino saxophone it pitched in Eb, a 4th higher than the soprano, and sounds a minor 3rd higher than written.

For comparison, the soprano is pitched an octave higher than the tenor, and the sopranino an octave higher than the alto.

The Alto Saxophone is a smaller and a higher instrument then the Tenor Saxophone. Most people think of the Alto when they hear the word "Saxophone". The tenor is less common than the alto.
