It depends... On stage a Shure 57 will do nicely. Some prefer clip-on mics, but I find it limits your dynamics with regard to not being able to telescope while playing. If you want range of motion with a clip on you might want to check out the CXM5.

If you are asking about a recording mic, that could be argued for century's by the many sound engineers whom all have different "cocktails" of recording gear. It is a matter of taste.

Personally, I have never found any mic that can match the sound quality of the natural sound of my sax. If you can play with out one, that's what I would recommend.

A baritone saxophone typically uses a single reed. The reed is attached to a mouthpiece, and the player blows air through it to produce sound. While other types of saxophones can have variations in reeds, the baritone saxophone consistently uses just one.

The saxophone was invented by Adolphe Sax in the early 1840s, with the patent for the instrument granted in 1846. It was designed to bridge the gap between the brass and woodwind instruments, primarily for use in military bands and orchestras. The saxophone gained popularity throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, becoming a key instrument in jazz music.

The Millennium tenor saxophone is known for its excellent craftsmanship, producing a warm, rich tone that appeals to both amateur and professional musicians. It typically features high-quality materials and construction, ensuring durability and reliable performance. Players often appreciate its responsive key action and versatile sound, making it suitable for various musical styles. Overall, the Millennium tenor saxophone is regarded as a solid choice for those seeking a balance of quality and affordability.

Normally the lowest note is middle C on the piano, though some instruments go down to B. The flute can reach C 3 octaves above that and even a little higher, though most amateur flute players don't enjoy playing up at the very top end of the range.

A good size saxophone for a little girl is typically an alto saxophone. It is lighter and more manageable than larger saxophones, making it easier for younger players to handle. Generally, alto saxophones are suitable for children aged around 9 and older, but it's important to consider the child's height and strength. For younger children, a soprano saxophone might also be a viable option, but the alto is more common for beginner players.

To play Iyaz's "Replay" on alto saxophone, start by familiarizing yourself with the melody by listening to the song. Use sheet music or a transcription specifically for alto saxophone to guide you through the notes. Focus on key elements like tone, phrasing, and dynamics to capture the song's feel. Practice slowly, gradually increasing your speed as you become more comfortable with the piece.

Depending on condition and any re-works, i.e. original lacquer >$ than a bad re-lacquer; anywhere from $6,000 to $11,000.

Make sure there is a good, soaked reed put on the mouthpiece and secured tightly by the ligature. Place the mouthpiece about 3/4 of an inch inside your mouth with the reed on your bottom lip. Place your bottom lip over your teeth as if you were putting on chapstick. Close your mouth and pull the corners of your mouth in like a drawstring bag (or as if you were sucking a thick smoothie through a straw). Angle the clarinet so the bell is in between your knees. Inhale and release your air in a steady stream.

In the Eagles' song "The Long Run," the saxophone is played by Joe Walsh. He contributed the saxophone solo to the track, adding a distinctive sound to the band's classic rock style. The song is featured on their 1979 album of the same name.

The saxophone song played during the scene in "Tango & Cash" when the character played by Kurt Russell dresses up like a drag queen is "I Can't Tell You Why" by the Eagles. The scene is memorable for its humor and the contrast between the character's tough persona and the drag attire.

The theory is that the pad saver will absorb most the moisture left in the instrument, which will slow the deterioration of the pads caused by moisture. Some people feel that the pad saver actually traps the moisture in the instrument limiting it's affect on pads.

Personally, I believe that they best serve the purpose when used to transport the instrument from, say rehearsal to home, where they are then removed, allowing both the sax and the pad saver to finish drying.
