How many sizes are there in a saxophone?

Answer 1

From highest to lowest pitch: Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Baritone.

The Soprano and Tenor are keyed in Bb

The Alto and Baritone instruments are keyed in Eb.

The Baritone Saxophone requires more lung capacity and is probably too large for a younger student.

The Soprano Saxophone is the most difficult of these four to play in tune.

Therefore most students of the Saxophone begin on Alto or Tenor try others after they have some proficiency.

Answer 2

Well that is somewhat right, There are 9 types of saxes. From smallest to largest and from highest to lowest it goes...

Soprillo

Soprinino

Soprano

Alto

Tenor

Baritone

Tubax

Bass

Contrabass

A lot of people think that the bass and Tubax are the same thing which they aren't. Obviously the Bass is tuned 1 octave lower than the Tubax. Glad if I could help in anyway!

Answer 3

The Alto Saxophone and the saprano saxophone are about the same size which is 2-3 feet. The Tenor Saxophone is around 3 to 3 1/2 feet. Finally, the baritone saxophone is about 5 feet. I'm not entirely sure about there sizes i play three of the four (alto tenor and baritone) and the baritone is a few inches below my chin and my chin is at 5' 2''

Answer 4

The size depends on the type of the Saxophone: Soprano pretty small, i believe it is somewhat shape like a shorter Clarinet Alto: not as small as soprano but still not very large. Easy to play and hold. Tenor: would reach about the thigh of a teenager. larger then alto, and prefect for a taller person who wants to play the saxophone and just entered band. Baritone: VERY large, and the sound is the deepest. I'd suggest starting out with the alto or tenor before going on to this instrument it is about to mid-belly level on a teen. Hope this helped :)

Answer 5

Not exactly.

There are four commonly used types of saxophones, which are different sizes. These are, from smallest to biggest: Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bari (Baritone). However, there are several other types of saxophones, like the Sopranino, Contrabass,and C Melody, for example.

Basically, each type of sax is one-size-fits-all, but all the types are different sizes. Like if all running shoes were 8 inches, and all dress shoes were 5 inches.

Answer 6

From the biggies to the smallies of saxophones made today:

Contra-bass

Bass

Baritone

Tenor

Alto

Soprano

Sopranino

Of these, the Baritone, Tenor, Alto, and Soprano are regularly made and sold. The others are made only to fill orders for them, not for general retail sales.

Answer 7

From lowest to highest (largest to smallest): Sub-contrabass Contrabass Bass Baritone Tenor C-Melody Alto Mezzo-Soprano Bb Soprano C Soprano Sopranino Soprillo I'm probably missing some obscure ones but your answer would be 12.
