First, you put the neck strap around your neck making sure the comfy bit is on the back of your neck,

Then you tighten or loosen it and start sucking on the reed to moisten it,

Next, you pick up the body in the case and attach it to the neck tightening on the screws if needed.

Last, you pick up the mouth piece, attach it to the neck piece, take off the ligature, put the reed on ever so carefully and without bumping the reed, slide the ligature back on and tighten.

You blow into the reed to make a sound...whether it's beautiful or not depends on how you blow. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- yes...apparently 'beautiful' would range from the sound a duck makes going into a meat grinder, and an angel's voice. oboes are...interesting. OBOES RULE THE WORLD, YOU JUST DON'T KNOW IT YET!!! -Myrl-

Of course. Some big changes, some little.

The first saxes (1840's) only went down to a low B, so the bell was a bit shorter and had no Bb key.

Early saxes weren't lacquered, they were bare brass. Silver plating came next then lacquer.

Until about 1911, there were two octave keys, one for notes up to G and one for higher notes. Now there's an articulated mechanism that opens different octave tone holes with a single key.

Rollers on the pinkie keys were added in the early 1900's

Until the 1930's most saxes had one bell key on each side of the bell.

The articulation of the G# and C# pinkie keys was added later

The front high F# key is a recent additon.

Key guards used to be made of brass rod. Now they're sheet metal.

Many changes in bore dimensions, tone hole placement and key work, most barely noticeable.

The saxophone is a woodwind instrument

Though it looks like brass, people always mistake it for brass instrument, but it is a woodwind. It does not have valves like the brass instruments, but has reed and finger holes covered by small pads. Some like to call it brasswind.

some are the beams, uneven bars, vaults [the horse] , and the floor.

d flat is the same as c sharp. so just the octive key

i did some research on it and i cant find it on any websites i believe it does not exist but you can try decoding it i believe it starts with ( G-D-G-D) i also heard of people using Windows Media Player, which allows slowing the song down a lot like to .5 of the tempo or something crazy like that it's a pretty good tool to use so i strongly suggest it. Srry i cant find it and good luck

Conn makes a lot of different models. The 50M is an upper-level student horn. It's American made, and much better than Conn's later student models. Truth be told, it's not really a Conn. It's a Vito with Conn engraving. Vito horns are based on Beaugnier French saxophones, and area good design. If you're looking for a solid student horn, the 50M is a good choice.

there are many different song to play for the alto sax and also many different ways to play marry had a little lamb hears the easiest way in my opion

baga- (all one beat )bb b_____for 2 beats- AA _______afor 2 beats- b d d_______for 2 beas- and then baga- bbb ___________for 2 beats- AA ba- g for 4 beast

- means new measure

Wow, well this answer would take a while lol, look at it like this, there are 26 keys on an Alto Sax, the six keys you will most likely (depending on what your playing) be using, are the keys your fingers should be on when holding the sax. The top key alone, is a (B), if you play the next one along with the top key, you play an (A), and holding down all three keys, you will play a (G). Very bery basic notes, without a doubt used in almost every piece written. Then the bottom 3, no matter which bottom key you need to press, the 3 keys we just talked about, ALL need to be held down, the first key on the bottom, along with the top 3, will give you an (F), now holding down the second key, along with the first one, and the three on top, will give you an (E), and finally holding down the last key along with the first two keys and the three on top will give you a (D). Now while there are many many more notes out there for the alto, there are too many to type out like this because some of them require more complex detail, if you want to know more, go on the internet, and look up Alto Saxophone Fingering Charts, they have every note on a sax, on that chart. Hope this helped.

Well, most saxophones (depending on the color) can range from 200-5000 depending on where you get it. I got my black/gold Tenor saxophone off of eBay for only $350 and it was brand new. Look online more than in the stores, it's way cheaper.

The primary difference between the Bb soprano saxophone and the Bb soprano clarinet (to choose equivalent members of their families) comes from the fact that the clarinet has a cylindrical bore and overblows a 12th (octave plus a fifth) while the saxophone overblows by an octave.

This means that the saxophone's second octave fingers like the first octave, while the clarinet needs extra keys to get the first four notes of the second octave!

There are other differences (for instance, the clarinet has a very large number of little-finger keys used for alternate fingerings, making it possible to play passages more smoothly which otherwise would be viciously hard to play at all.) But this is the fundamental difference between them.

( added on ) i don't know much about clarinets but I'm going to use this as an example. to play the same tone of another instrument you have different notes. For example. concert G would be A natural for saxaphones but a C for a horn

G, C (high), G, C (low), G, C (high), G, C (high), E, D, C, B, A G, C (high), G, C (low), G, C (high), G, C (high), A, G, F, E, D C (low)

Your might be thinking about "Lily Was Here". Guitarist Dave Stewart was famous for making music with his wife Annie Lennox in the Eurythmics. On "Lille Was Here" he teamed up with saxophonist Candy Dulfer. It is a great instrumental tune for the early 90's.

What do you mean?

im not sure what that means but people who play the sax are like people who like jazz like me i play the sax in band that's cause im in 6th grade but yeah anyone can play the sax if they are into it hope i helped!!!

There are no "jazz instruments."

You can find jazz pieces written for almost any instrument, including trumpets, saxophones, trombones, flutes, clarinets, piano, string bass, vocal parts, etc.

GGG gggg Bb Bb C if the G was a quarter note and the g is a 16th note and the Bb and C's are quaters too

Crickets can make up the majority of their diet. Three to six can be fed per frog several times a week. Additionally, flightless fruit flies, houseflies, and small moths can be offered regularly to vary their diet. Coat their food in the proper calcium and vitamin supplements every couple feedings (this can be done by placing the insects in a plastic bag along with some calcium/vitamin powder and shaking it up so the food becomes coated evenly). Juvenile frogs should have their food supplemented more often.

When you play a saxophone, or any reed instrument, the reed vibrates, causing pulsing of the air you are breathing into the instrument. That causes the air in the instrument to also vibrate. Resonance determines frequency and timbre.

The saxophone comes from the two American inventors: Cheech (Richard Marin) and Chong (Tommy Chong). They accidentally built it after attempting to build a high-tech bong, then when they first tested it they realized that it made music. That is why they originally named it the "Musical Bong." Then when they needed extra income to buy more Marijuana, they sold it to Belgium. Later on Belgium named in the Saxophone, and took all the credit for its presence.

The saxophone makes a mix-between woodwind and brass sound. The saxophone has a unique sound though and it varies between which type of saxophone or even the player.

The saxophone generally makes a smooth-bold sound, but it may be hard to understand this in words. Bold in this case would be rich, filled, similar to a bold coffee. Certain people like bold coffees and certain people like a little weaker coffee, or an airier saxophone sound.
