How do you determine sax mouthpiece sizes?

Each manufacturer does it a bit differently. several factors might be indicated by the "size."

Tip opening - the space between the tip of the reed and the mouthpiece - is almost always indicated, usually with a number. The bigger the number the bigger the opening. 5, 6, and 7 are usually the mid-range with lower numbers indicating a more closed mouthpiece (including student pieces). Larger numbers are for big ol' things that play loud and take lots of air and lots of strength.

Facing length may be indicated, usually by letters

Chamber shape and size may also be indicated by letter, but often that is indicated by a model name

Baffle style may also be indicated but that's usually by the model name, too.

What do you need to play a alto saxophone?

As a saxophone player myself, I can tell you that you don't need much to play the instrument. I suggest:

  • A neck strap
  • Reeds (Around #2 reeds if you are a beginner)
  • An saxophone (obviously)
  • A mouthpiece
  • A saxophone cleaner (basically a wipe on a string)

That's about it. Of course music would come in handy, but if you're just practicing getting the notes out then there's no need yet. Good luck!

Do mouth pieces come with ligatures?

It depends on where you get it. Mouth pieces are very expensive with or without the ligature but prices vary. =D

What is circular causality in terms of A B and C?

It means that a causes B, B causes C and C causes A (or the other way around).

Towns a b and c lie on a straight road in order the distance from b to c is 6 miles more than twice the distance from a to b the distance from a to c is 2 miles more than four times the distance from?

Let x = the distance from a to b. Therefore, the distance from b to c = 2x+6 The distance from a to c = 4x + 2 Logically, a to c = a to b + b to c so 4x+2 = x+ 2x+6. Now solve for x and you can find all the distances. Sometimes it really helps to draw a picture and write a statement. Example, let x = the distance from a to b. Good luck.
