What is the most used key on saxophone?

Asked by Wiki User

Different people like different saxophones. It depends what style and who you are. Tenor produces a jazzier sound, but you often sacrifice having the melody for a counter-melody, or sometimes even just tones in the background. Alto is generally a good choice for concert band. for marching band, the baritone or Contra-bass saxophone is a good choice, to enhance the band's sound.

As for brands...

For alto: stay away from yamaha. Julius Keilwerth st 90 series 4 is a good model, and my personal choice.

Tenor and Baritone : Selmer.

I do not play contra-bass, and therefore, cannot give you a good brand.

What was the purpose of the alto saxophone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Originally, the soprano was one of seven instruments in the saxophone family patented by Adolphe Sax in 1846. At that time the soprano might have taken the lead voice in a saxophone choir or served as the top woodwind voice in a military band. It has come to be used primarily as a solo instrument in jazz or popular music combos.

Because the soprano sax can sound shrill and is very difficult to play in tune, some people might say there is no good reason for Adolphe to have invented it.

How much do alto saxophone lessons cost?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Lesson costs vary widely by location, and also by the starting level of the student and of the teacher. Lessons for a school student or amateur, from a music teacher or a mid-level pro who does both gig-playing performances and giving lessons, in the Washington, D.C. area run from $50 and up for one lesson that lasts about 45-50 minutes. But lessons from a high-level professional, for an advanced college student or a professional looking to improve his or her quality, could easily run you $200 a lesson.

It should be noted that the professional who gives a child/student a lesson, who is, say, a high school band director or a player in one of the military bands, is usually himself or herself taking lessons on occasion from someone who has been playing for even longer, or from someone who knows more about the manufacture of the instruments and about repairing them.

Many music stores and individual teachers offer discounts for students who sign up for multiple lessons on a recurring basis, and for those who offer payment for multiple lessons in advance.

Are lazarro alto saxophone good quality?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Actually not really. With my experiences with them the quality is very inconsistent from horn to horn. Sure there are a few that may work wonders but that chance is slim. I do have to say that they are better than most stencil horns though.

How do you convert saxophone notes to clarinet notes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When you play piano, it's a step higher than clarinet because clarinet is not a concert pitched instrument, so you have to take what note is on the piano and lower it one.

Example: You're playing a G on piano and you want to play it on clarinet. You then play an A on clarinet because it's a step higher.

Example 2: You're playing an E on piano and you want to play it on clarinet. You then play an F# on the clarinet.

Check by ear just in case!
