Saxophonist/composer Alto Reed is very much alive, as of this writing (July, 2011).

Does alto saxophone have more notes than clarinet?

No. Both have every possible chromatic pitch from the lowest note to the highest note on the instrument, so the question becomes which has the greater range, and the answer is clarinet. The written range of the sax is from Bb below middle C to F# an octave above the treble clef. Some saxes, especially older instruments only reach F natural. The clarinet's written range is from E below middle C to G an octave above the treble clef. Thus, the clarinet has six more pitches at the low end and one more at the top.

The clarinet is pitched in Bb so the notes actually sound one full step lower than written, so the low E actually sounds as a concert D. The alto sax is pitched in Eb, so the low Bb actually sounds as a Db, one half step lower than the lowest note on a clarinet. But comparing the actual sound, The clarinet's high G sounds as an F while the the saxes high F# sounds as an A. So in actual sound the clarinet has eight pitches that sound higher than the highest note on the sax. Either way the clarinet has a total of seven more pitches.

Both sax and clarinet also have a possible altissimo range above the top note which are not normally counted as part of the range. Those notes don't have standard fingerings and depend more on the player than the instrument.

How much will it cost approximately to fix a bent hood and broken front headlight on a 1992 Honda Accord?

In Indiana it would cost about three hundred and some change if I did it my self. I would go get either a new hood (not from dealership) or a used hood. I would then paint it. That would be about 2 hundred or so. Then the light would be about 100. Give or take some. To have someone do it around here about 500 hundred or so maybe. It all depends on the damage and what all needs to be done to fix it. Of course it depends also on how good you want it fixed. Hope this gives you an idea.Brad.

How do you play Rue's whistle on PIANO?

To play Rue's whistle on the piano, you'll need to focus on a few key notes that capture the haunting melody. The main theme typically involves a simple, repetitive pattern, often centered around the notes C, E, and G. You can create a soft, airy sound by playing these notes gently and using the sustain pedal to emulate the whistle's ethereal quality. Listening to the original piece can help you capture the right feel and tempo.

How do they classify the classes into A B C and D in a golf tournament?

They take the handicaps of all players and work off of those. They try and divide the number of people for the tournamet into 4 and see about where the cut llines for A, B, C, and D players will fall. Sometimes you have to divide the A and B players into A and A-, and the B's into B and B-. Having the A- pick from the B"s and the A players to pick from the B-'s, to level the playing field.

Where can you find a musical locket?

You can't get the locket that would be musical, that's a made up Disney prop.

There are mini musical movements, but to produce such an item would cost a lot of money. A standard movement is just too big to fit in something so small.

However, we are thinking of making a standard musical movement with the tune (we can do that & pay a copyright on just the music) that would go into a standard inlaid wooden box.

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.
