I did not find the switch from Clarinet to alto sax hard. The middle register on the clarinet is the same as both registers on the Saxophone except for C and C#. The difference between the clarinet being in Bb and the alto sax being in Eb will not be a problem unless you are transposing clarinet music to Eb sax.

∙ 12y agoI don't know from personal experience but I would say that it's definitely hard. First, you have to totally switch mouth pieces and adjust your embrasure. Then, instead of slide positions, you have fingerings. And finally, Trombone is in Bass Clef, while Alto is in Treble clef.
I do play Alto sax, so that part I'm definite on. Everything else I just know from band class.
