How is music produced in the soprano saxophone?

Answer 1

The way that the Saxophone makes a noise is when the player puts their mouth on the mouthpiece, and the reed vibrates, sending waves of air through the saxophone, making a sound. The different pitches of the saxophone, or the different notes are determined when the saxophone player presses down fingering, therefor making the instrument shorter or longer.

Answer 2

The saxophone is a single-reed conical-bore instrument. The reed is a piece of 'cane', actually from the Arundo Donax plant, which is a variety of bamboo, the best of which traditionally grow in the south of France. The cane is harvested and seasoned, then cut into which do not include the walls.

The sections are split, planed, sanded and shaped to make the reed, which is thick for about half its length, tapering down to a paper-thin end. This is tied or clamped to the mouthpiece, where the surface against which the reed will beat is angled back to allow air to pass through.

When the player puts his lips around the reed and applies air pressure, the reed alternately closes and opens against the face of the mouthpiece, making 'puffs' of air which travel the length of the bore as far as the first open key. This establishes the pitch of the note being played.

The saxophone is an "open pipe" in acoustic terms, which means that it produces a sound that has all harmonics present and overblows at the octave. (The Clarinet, in contrast is a cylindrical 'closed pipe', meaning that it contains only odd harmonics and overblows at the octave+fifth (12th).) String instruments also have even and odd harmonics present, and it is sometimes said that the sax section provides the wind band with the effect of strings in an orchestra.

Answer 3

first off, the Soprano Saxophone is shaped like a clarinet.

saxophones generate sound by the metal vibrating. you then press down the keys for different notes.
