Why do saxophones have reeds?
Saxophones have reeds because they are woodwind instruments that produce sound through the vibration of a reed, which is a thin strip of material (usually cane) attached to the mouthpiece.

This mechanism allows for a wide range of expressive tones and dynamics, making the saxophone versatile in various musical genres. The reed's flexibility is crucial for controlling pitch and volume.
How do alto saxophones produce sound?
All saxophones produce sound in the same way: The saxophone player pushes air through the mouthpiece; the moving air causes the reed to vibrate rapidly against the mouthpiece, causing the air to vibrate at that same frequency and a pictch to sound. The air then moves though the saxophone, amplifying the sound until it escapes through whichever holes closest to the mouthpiece are open. If all holes are pressed down, then the air escapes through the bell of the sax.The distance of the open tone hole to the mouthpiece determines how high or low the pitch of the note sounds.
