Nope, most Conn instruments are usually of very high quality.

*edit* A Conn 20M is a student model from the late 60's early/mid 70's and can be bought secondhand from eBay for about $350 to $400 but that's not to say it's a 'bad sax'. Conns from that era were decent saxes but it is still advised you get a newly purchased horn checked over by a decent tech and it should be a fairly good player one all the pads are in order and any leaks sorted.

Straight pipe- from its straignt, vertical shape, as opposed to the curved bell type more associated with the saxophone instruments. also Goofus which was a slang term that was also applied to ( A small calliope mounted on a truck or trailer- used at carnivals) possibly the idea it was a novelty or (Goof) instrument. Some Jazz musicians made a big thing with the Goofus, however and the name did come into slang usage as a synonym for the Soprano saxophone.

It depends how many people you have to play the saxophone. There are usually only parts for 2 altos, 1 tenor, and 1 baritone. If you have a lot of saxophonists you can get away with having up to about 7 altos, 3 tenors, and 2 bari's. It really all depends how many you want.

If you're talking about a jazz band. There is usually a lead woodwind (sax 1), alto saxophone 2, tenor 1 and 2, and only one baritone. Again, it depends how many saxophones you have. Just not too many bari's!

A Typical saxophone can play from a low B to a high f. Professional saxophones can play from low b to high f sharp. Select soprano saxophones can go from low b to high g and select bari saxes can go from low a to high f.

It had to have been made between 1975 and 1980.

Since the death of Clarence Clemons, the E Street Band has employed a new saxophone player. Jake Clemons, the nephew of Clarence Clemons is currently filling this position.

You should know that it will take a long time and a lot of hard work to really sound good. That means that this question can't cover everything you would need to know. You should also get a beginner's book.

It is in the key of concert Bb. On alto saxophone there is one sharp (F#). There is a link to the sheet music for it in the related links, which includes both piano and alto saxophone.

The soprano sax is smaller than the alto, but im not sure how big it exactly is

I was told these were horns sold by Western Auto in the 70's.

That's kinda hard to say. You really just sort of mess around with different notes and fingerings until you've got the hang of stringing notes together into tunes. You can also start off with a familiar tune and then add/take away notes or rests to make it your own song. Freestyling is just a fancy word for messing around, really.

The sax mouthpiece facing is the curve on the reed side of the mouthpiece. There are usually 5 measurements used with feeler gauges and a piece of clear glass with hash marks on it. The most common measurement is the tip opening usually expressed in a 1000th of an inch. A sax mouthpiece such as the Meyer 5MM is a .071" (you would say...It's 71 "one thousandth" of an inch.).Some companys use the metric system like Vandoren, some companys use letters like Selmer. The length of the curve from the tip of the mouthpiece to where it meets the flat table is called the length of the facing. A mouthpiece can have a short facing or a long facing. It could have a french facing (classical)or a NY style facing (jazz). You can find charts on the Inter-web that list all the mouthpieces and their corresponding tip openings and also their facing lengths.

Good Luck!!

The Sousaphone was developed in the 1890s by C.G. Conn at the request of John Philip Sousa, who was unhappy with the helicons used at that time by the United States Marine Band. The hélicon is an instrument that resembles the sousaphone in principle but has a far narrower bore, and a much smaller bell which points between straight up and to the player's left. Sousa wanted a tuba that would send sound upward and over the band with a full warm tone, much like a concert (upright) tuba, an effect which could not be achieved with the narrower-belled (and thus highly directional) hélicon. Contrary to popular belief, the sousaphone was not initially developed as a marching instrument, as the professional band Sousa started after leaving the Marines (for which he wanted this new instrument) marched only once in its existence. Rather, Sousa wanted a concert instrument which would be easier to hold and play, while retaining a full, rich sound. The tone he sought was achieved by widening the bore and throat of the instrument significantly, as well as pointing it straight upward in a similar manner to concert instruments, a feature which led to the instrument being dubbed a "rain-catcher". This bell configuration remained the standard for several decades, and a version with a forward-facing bell did not debut until the mid-1920s. Early sousaphones had 22 inch diameter bells, with 24 inch bells popular in the 1920s. From the mid-1930s onward, sousaphone bells have been standardized at a diameter of 26 inches.

Bow hunting is all about arrow placement. You want the arrow in the vitals not in the guts where it would cause slow death. Learn your "Bow and Arrows" first and practice, practice, practice. Then when you can put the arrow in the red circle every time move on the the fake deer and practice. Once you can put the arrows into the vitals every time from any angle, then you are ready. Time frame depends on you.

Hope This Helps.

I understand perfectly what you mean. Stop trying to play the saxophone or oboe. You've lost too many brain cells already.

A written F-natural on any sax is fingered by closing all three stack keys in the left hand and the index finger key on the right hand. Top line F also requires the octave key to be pressed with the left thumb. The pitch that sounds is the same as an A-flat on the piano.
