Alto Saxophone

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.

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

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

The Alto Sax is the second smallest in the range, The Soprano Sax is the smallest and plays in the highest register. The Tenor fits in the range between the Alto and the Baritone and is a fairly standard Jazz and blues instrument playing in the Mid to Bass range

The Alto Saxophone is in the key of E flat. That means that an E flat on the Alto Saxophone is the same pitch as a C on a piano or other concert pitch instrument.

Of course, it depends on what's wrong with it. If it only needs a new pad, it shouldn't cost much, say $10 to $20. Bent or broken keys will cost more, and really messed up octave key mechanisms can cost lots more.

finger an A with the left hand (the first two keys your fingers are on), and add the last of the three rectangular keys with the palm of your right hand, located near the hook. Fingering diagrams are extremely helpful in these situations.

a different guy,

WRONG! you use both of your pointer fingers.

An alto sax varies in prices depending where you are. It also depends on if you want a professional alto sax or a student alto sax. A professional alto sax usually costs about 2,000 to 3,000 dollars. A student alto sax will usually cost about 250 to 1,000 dollars. So make sure you really want your own instrument because it is quite an investment.

Start out slow and soft, then get louder and faster. Be sure to sway back and forth, and pump your fist when your right hand is free.

Not very big at all, compared to tenor and bari saxes. Its about a little under two feet long. I'm not very tall at all (5'1) and can play easily. I could also play when I was 4'11 so I hope I could help

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.

Most have rules that only seniors live there, orethwise it would just be another apt. complex. They usually get a break in rent because they don't usually trash the place before they move and the landlords don't usually have to worry about getting rent out of them when it's due.

Glad to be of assistance xD

put the second finger down

Bigbang7495: Actually, there is several C's. One way is by pressing down you second finger. If you want to play a low C then press all your fingers down, and your pinkey on your right hand and press the farthest button. To play a high C, press your second finger and the octave key.
