How do you prevent the airy sound on an alto saxophone?
Practice. More experience, the better sound. Also, the mouthpiece makes a big difference to the sound. The mouthpiece that comes with the saxophone tends to (not always) be a beginner one, that is easy to use but is unable to hit the low and high notes. Whereas if you got a more professional mouthpiece, after you get used to it, it sounds much nicer and is easier to play. Another thing, by learning techniques like vibrato or 'growling', makes great effects when performing and recording. To do vibrato, move your jaw (fast) up and down ever so slightly when playing a long note; this makes it sound sort of echoey and like the sound is vibrating, hence the name 'vibrato'. To growl, make a humming noise whilst playing a note, and it makes an intense gnarly sound. Though it is quite tricky to do, so don't be put off if you can't do it after a few tries ;)
Remember though, saxophones that are on CDs are edited in sound. They put on echo effects and pitch corrector so it sounds perfect, which is extremely difficult to do playing live. So use recorded saxophones as a reference, but don't get upset if you don't sound exactly like it ;)
What is the difference between a student saxophone than a normal saxophone?
There are 3 levels of saxophones.
First, there's a student model. Student models are cheaper and for beginning saxophonists or saxophonists who don't really plan on continuing saxophone. It has all the basic functions a beginner needs. These are the cheapest
Second, there's the intermediate level saxophone. These are used mostly for students who want to keep going in your saxophone career. Most models have the alternate F# key that is needed in harder level music. The tone from the materials used is also better. These can get pretty expensive but most are affordable (if it's important to you).
Lastly, There's the professional saxophone. These are for serious saxophonists, (or ones that like to spend money!) These are ALWAYS at least 2000 dollars...They have the best sound, however. All have an alternate F# key (and on soprano high G key) If you want a professional saxophone, I would suggest waiting until you know how to play and care for it/know you want to keep going with the saxophone.
Hope this helps.

How do alto saxophones produce sound?
All saxophones produce sound in the same way: The saxophone player pushes air through the mouthpiece; the moving air causes the reed to vibrate rapidly against the mouthpiece, causing the air to vibrate at that same frequency and a pictch to sound. The air then moves though the saxophone, amplifying the sound until it escapes through whichever holes closest to the mouthpiece are open. If all holes are pressed down, then the air escapes through the bell of the sax.
The distance of the open tone hole to the mouthpiece determines how high or low the pitch of the note sounds.

How do you make a tenor saxophone?
First, you put the neck strap around your neck making sure the comfy bit is on the back of your neck,
Then you tighten or loosen it and start sucking on the reed to moisten it,
Next, you pick up the body in the case and attach it to the neck tightening on the screws if needed.
Last, you pick up the mouth piece, attach it to the neck piece, take off the ligature, put the reed on ever so carefully and without bumping the reed, slide the ligature back on and tighten.
Do you blow into a woodwind instrument?

OBOES RULE THE WORLD, YOU JUST DON'T KNOW IT YET!!! -Myrl-
How did the alto saxophone change since it was invented?
Of course. Some big changes, some little.
The first saxes (1840's) only went down to a low B, so the bell was a bit shorter and had no Bb key.
Early saxes weren't lacquered, they were bare brass. Silver plating came next then lacquer.
Until about 1911, there were two octave keys, one for notes up to G and one for higher notes. Now there's an articulated mechanism that opens different octave tone holes with a single key.
Rollers on the pinkie keys were added in the early 1900's
Until the 1930's most saxes had one bell key on each side of the bell.
The articulation of the G# and C# pinkie keys was added later
The front high F# key is a recent additon.
Key guards used to be made of brass rod. Now they're sheet metal.
Many changes in bore dimensions, tone hole placement and key work, most barely noticeable.
Is sax a woodwind or a. Brass?
The saxophone is a woodwind instrument
Though it looks like brass, people always mistake it for brass instrument, but it is a woodwind. It does not have valves like the brass instruments, but has reed and finger holes covered by small pads. Some like to call it brasswind.
some are the beams, uneven bars, vaults [the horse] , and the floor.
i did some research on it and i cant find it on any websites i believe it does not exist but you can try decoding it i believe it starts with ( G-D-G-D) i also heard of people using Windows Media Player, which allows slowing the song down a lot like to .5 of the tempo or something crazy like that it's a pretty good tool to use so i strongly suggest it. Srry i cant find it and good luck

Conn makes a lot of different models. The 50M is an upper-level student horn. It's American made, and much better than Conn's later student models. Truth be told, it's not really a Conn.
