Saxophone

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.

The saxophone is the only Woodwind that was not originally made of wood

Adolphe Sax invented the Saxophone, which means that it doesn't have an etymology per sey

The really high E would be the E written three ledger lines above the staff. One octave lower will be the E written in the top space of the staff.

Its a saxophone case, you know that thing you put your saxophone thing in to protect it? Yeah that it

The saxophone is made of a variety of parts and with this it takes extreme care and maintenance to prevent problems or damages. Luckily smell is not going to affect your playing, unless it's so smelly that you cannot bare breathing and playing. However, it will be difficult to get the metal smell out of your saxophone. The easiest way to do this would be to send your saxophone for an overhaul, a process where an instrument is completely taken apart and each piece is cleaned. The negative to an overhaul is the price as it will be extremely expensive and may cost you over $1,000. So if the overhaul is not an option for you, I would suggest taking it to the shop for a minor clean, replacing the pads, and then maintaining it well. You should swab it everyday to prevent from bacteria growing, and personally I think it takes away a little of that metal smell.

or rub strawberry lip balm on it.

It is the smallest in the saxophone family at only 12 inches tall. Also, it is pitched an octave above the soprano saxohone. There is a great site with more information: www.soprillo.com

He plays fairly interesting melodic solos that are easy to listen to. His sound on the soprano sax is pleasant and he plays well in tune (which isn't that easy on soprano sax). Although a lot of serious musicians think he's predictable and not all that interesting, casual listeners won't be confused or driven away by sounds that they don't understand. I'd say he's found a niche. Wish I could.

If you mean the soprano 'saxophone' then it is the woodwind family, but if you are talking soprano as in the voice part, then it is the voice family I suppose.

Saxophones require swabs - I use a big one for the body, a small one for the neck, and a silk cloth for the mouthpiece. Use these to clean the water out of the instrument after it's played, every time.

You should lubricate the cork at the top of the body where the neck goes on with cork grease every now and then.

Reeds. I have a supply of several stiffnesses, and also carry a couple of plastic-coated reeds just in case. I also carry several different brands. I seem to always come back to Ricos or LaVoz reeds, though. If you are a pro, then you will probably use higher quality reeds. But if you are a pro, you already know that.

Some people like to use a reed trimmer to fine-tune the thin edge of the reed.

Light oil to lube all the various moving parts. Apply the oil with a very fine-tipped little bottle. If you cannot find them at the music store, look in a hobby store that carries model train sets.

Use a clean, soft cotton or silk cloth to thoroughly wipe down the outside of the sax every time after you play it.

I like to use tone key pad papers to clean the keypads every couple of weeks. A lot of players use a folded in half dollar bill, but the papers have a super-fine powder to help keep the pads from sticking to the tone holes.

Get a small supply of clothespins or bulldog clips to hold music sheets to your stand if you play outdoors.

Adolphe Sax, the person credited with inventing the first saxophone, was educated by his father Charles-Joseph Sax. His father was a skilled wind instrument maker and repairer. In addition, Adolphe Sax studied at the Royal School of Singing in Brussels, Belgium.

The sky-scraping verse, with its themes of immortality is a Saxophone song that changes tone when a woman comes in the middle and says something in Latin and it is really catchy and not a classic and not edm or house more like jazz.

A half note is 2 beats. So you hold a note for 2 beats to play it on ANY INSTRUMENT

The body of the instrument is made of brass. That's the big, shiny part :D Despite this, however, the saxophone is categorized as a woodwind rather than a brass instrument, because the style of the mouthpiece fits into the woodwind category.

The mouthpiece may be made of rubber, plastic, or metal. The reed is made of bamboo.

Created by Adolphe Sax in 1848, it takes on the S shape and combines elements of woodwind and brasswind design to produce its sound.
The saxophone is a kind of instrument.

The viola is written in alto clef because that is its musical note range. Note that you are required to learn "the violin clef" too. Also because we needed another clef... and violas are special and didn't fit into any of the other instruments' ranges.

...just ask her, i guess?

No, I can't play the Sax. I assume you want your sentence put into correct English. Can you play, "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," on the saxophone?"

The first person to play the sax was Adolphe sax
